Auto-Hide ViewBag Message in C# after 15 seconds

Question

I am displaying a message via ViewBag in C# and it works fine. Now what I want is to auto Hide the ViewBag message after 15 seconds. How should I do that?

Following is my code where I am using ViewBag:

public ActionResult ForgetPassword(String EmailId, string message)
    {
        ViewBag.Message = message;
        ForgetPassword objForgetPassword = new ForgetPassword { EmailId = EmailId };
        return View();
    }

//Other Model where I am passing the Message

 if (objResult.Status)
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Login", new { message = "Password changed Successfully. Please Login with the New Password."});
            }

CSHTML code for the same:

@using (Html.BeginForm()) 
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

<div class="form-horizontal for-pass">
    <h4><b>@ViewBag.Message</b></h4>
    <hr />
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.OTP, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label" })
        <div class="col-md-12">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.OTP, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.OTP, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
        </div>
    </div>

Answer 1

You can use the javascript setTimeout function to run the code to hide the message using the query fadeOut function:

$(document).ready(function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
        $("#msg").fadeOut();
    }, 15000);
});

and in view:

<h4 id="msg"><b>@ViewBag.Message</b></h4>

Answer 2

You can use Javascript setTimeout() function to do so.

Give your label an particular Id like ' lblMsg '

setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById('lblMsg').style.display = "none"; }, 15000);

Or Simply you want to remove the element after 15 seconds.

Using JQuery you can use remove() function.

setTimeout(function(){ $('#lblMsg').remove(); }, 15000);

Answer 3

You can use JS to hide element which contains ViewBag data like this:

setTimeout(function() { $("h4").hide(); }, 15000);

$("h4").delay(15000).fadeOut();

Or using CSS selector display: none :

setTimeout(function() { $("h4").css('display','none'); }, 15000);

Make sure the h4 is the only one element which contains the message, otherwise use <div> with id attribute.

Give an id to the container of the message. Then add document.ready method that hide the container after 15 sec. Use settimeout function as below:

setTimeout(function() {
        $("#successMessage").hide('bind', {}, 500)
    }, 5000);
