Just wondering, is it possible to have an alert window come up and then dissappear after a certain number of seconds? I ask because I want to alert users when their lease on a record is about to expire, I use <meta refresh> to redirect them elsewhere when their lease does expire, but it'd be nice to let them know without interrupting the <meta refresh> timer. As It is currently, if I flash an alert up, it pauses everything until they click OK. Any ideas?

Something like this:
save this as "Sample.js":
Save this as "Sample.html":
and save this as "Warning.html":
Run Sample.html in your browser.
This also allows you to prematurely dismiss the warning window.
