Transient status bar message how do you make them using javascript?

Answer 1

To create a transient status bar message using JavaScript, you can use the setTimeout function to display a message for a limited time. First, create a <div> element to serve as the status bar and style it as needed. When you want to show the message, set its content and make it visible, then use setTimeout to hide or remove it after a specified duration. Here's a simple example:

function showStatusMessage(message) {
    const statusBar = document.createElement('div');
    statusBar.textContent = message;
    statusBar.style.position = 'fixed';
    statusBar.style.bottom = '10px';
    statusBar.style.left = '10px';
    statusBar.style.backgroundColor = 'black';
    statusBar.style.color = 'white';
    statusBar.style.padding = '10px';
    document.body.appendChild(statusBar);
    
    setTimeout(() => {
        document.body.removeChild(statusBar);
    }, 3000); // Message will disappear after 3 seconds
}
