you probably could not do that with an alert() function but if you created a modal say for example you could do it on that using the setTimeout() function.

modal is like an overlay or a dialog box basically.

This link gives you an idea of how to plug it in.

Its features are similar to lightbox/thickbox

You want to programmatically get rid of an alert box? Alert boxes are there to warn the user of something. Getting rid of them via code is not something I imagine is something that the browser would want you to do. Bit dodgy?

Using a modal form as mentioned may be better. jQuery has some good UI plug-ins - see the jqueryui.com site.

Maybe you want PHP to set a message that a div will appear it (example always in centre of screen) and if not pressed ok in 10 seconds to disappear). This is simply DOM with JavaScript or as once referred DHMTL ;)))
