temporary messages

I'm not quite sure what forum this question should go in, so I'm just posting it here. I want a message on my site to only be displayed for about 10 seconds. How would I do this? Thanks.

JavaScript:[code]onload=timerID=setTimeout('deleteMessage()',10000);
function deleteMessage() {
document.getElementById('message').style.display='none';
clearTimeout(timerID);
}

ok, thanks for that. I'm kinda new to js, so if I wanted to say "message 1" for 10 seconds, how would I do that and where would I put it.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>timer</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
onload=timerID=setTimeout('deleteMessage()',10000);
function deleteMessage() {
document.getElementById('message').style.display='none';
clearTimeout(timerID);
}
//-->
</script>

</head>
<body>
<h1 id="message">message 1</h1>
</body>
</html>
