Bootstrap Alert Auto Close

Question

My need is to call alert when I click on Add to Wishlist button and should disappear the alert in 2 secs. This is how I tried, but the alert is disappearing instantly as soon as it is appearing. Not sure, where the bug is.. Can anyone help me out?

JS Script

$(document).ready (function(){
   $("#success-alert").hide();
   $("#myWish").click(function showAlert() {
      $("#success-alert").alert();
      window.setTimeout(function () { 
         $("#success-alert").alert('close'); 
      }, 2000);             
   });      
});

HTML Code:

<div class="product-options">
   <a id="myWish" href="" class="btn btn-mini">Add to Wishlist </a>
   <a href="#" class="btn btn-mini"> Purchase </a>
</div>

Alert Box:

<div class="alert alert-success" id="success-alert">
   <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">x</button>
   <strong>Success!</strong>
   Product have added to your wishlist.
</div>

For a smooth slideup:

$("#success-alert").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function(){
    $("#success-alert").slideUp(500);
});

---

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#success-alert").hide();
  $("#myWish").click(function showAlert() {
    $("#success-alert").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function() {
      $("#success-alert").slideUp(500);
    });
  });
});

Using a fadeTo() that is fading to an opacity of 500 in 2 seconds in "I Can Has Kittenz"'s code isn't readable to me. I think it's better using other options like a delay()

$(".alert").delay(4000).slideUp(200, function() {
    $(this).alert('close');
});

Answer 3

Why all the other answers use slideUp is just beyond me. As I'm using the fade and in classes to have the alert fade away when closed (or after timeout), I don't want it to "slide up" and conflict with that.

Besides the slideUp method didn't even work. The alert itself didn't show at all. Here's what worked perfectly for me:

$(document).ready(function() {
    // show the alert
    setTimeout(function() {
        $(".alert").alert('close');
    }, 2000);
});

Answer 4

I found this to be a better solution

$(".alert-dismissible").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function(){
    $(".alert-dismissible").alert('close');
});

Answer 5

one more solution for this Automatically close or fade away the bootstrap alert message after 5 seconds:

This is the HTML code used to display the message:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div class="alert alert-danger">
This is an example message...
</div>


<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function () {
 
window.setTimeout(function() {
    $(".alert").fadeTo(1000, 0).slideUp(1000, function(){
        $(this).remove(); 
    });
}, 5000);
 
});
</script>

Answer 6

$("#success-alert").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function(){
    $("#success-alert").alert('close');
});

Where fadeTo parameters are fadeTo(speed, opacity)

Answer 7

This is a good approach to show animation in and out using jQuery

  $(document).ready(function() {
      // show the alert
      $(".alert").first().hide().slideDown(500).delay(4000).slideUp(500, function () {
         $(this).remove(); 
      });
  });

Tiggers automatically and manually when needed

$(function () {
    TriggerAlertClose();
});

function TriggerAlertClose() {
    window.setTimeout(function () {
        $(".alert").fadeTo(1000, 0).slideUp(1000, function () {
            $(this).remove();
        });
    }, 5000);
}

Answer 9

C# Controller:

var result = await _roleManager.CreateAsync(identityRole);
   if (result.Succeeded == true)
       TempData["roleCreateAlert"] = "Added record successfully";

Razor Page:

@if (TempData["roleCreateAlert"] != null)
{
    <div class="alert alert-success">
        <a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close">×</a>
        <p>@TempData["roleCreateAlert"]</p>
    </div>
}

Any Alert Auto Close:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(".alert").delay(5000).slideUp(200, function () {
        $(this).alert('close');
    });
</script>

This worked perfectly even though you clicked the button multiple times. Here I created an onClick function to trigger the closeAlert function.

function closeAlert(){
    const alert = document.getElementById('myalert')
    alert.style.display = "block"

    setTimeout(function(){ 
        alert.style.display = "none"

    }, 3000);

 }
