How do I hide a layer with the onLoad event handler?

lee · Dec 7, 2006

Hello

I need to hide a layer after a set time when the page loads.

Let's say a 1000ms (a second).

Now this works as you'd expect:

<body onLoad="PopUp.style.visibility='hidden';">

Which closes the layer so quick the user cannot see it.
I need it to close after 1 second. I'd thought this would work, but it
does not:

<onLoad="setTimeout('PopUp.style.visibility='hidden';', 1000);">

Does anyone know how to hide the layer after a set time?

Thanks

<onLoad="setTimeout('PopUp.style.visibility='hidden';', 1000);">

<onLoad="setTimeout('PopUp.style.visibility=\'hidden\';', 1000);">

Just in case :
<onLoad="setTimeout('PopUp.style.display: \'none\';', 1000);">
