Disappearing DIV tag

[NZ_Kiwis]

I want to display a nice bright yellow DIV tag, after 5 seconds I want it to disappear, fade away even.

How can I do this?

As with most things javascript, try googling for jquery + whatever you wish to accomplish, such as

jquery fade

+1 for jQuery.

$('#mydiv').show().delay(5000).fadeOut('slow');
