Hello, I would like to have it so if a user clicks a button, a temporary message will appear and then go away automatically. It would be cool if it faded away but if that is too complex it can just disappear. Could you provide a working example? Thanks.

Do you mean like a windows message box? or just a type of "fake" box?

Not sure what you mean but basically I would like an onclick event where if a user clicks a button a message will temporarily appear and go away. I would like to display messages such as "Page loaded" and stuff like that just for cosmetic reasons.

Take a look at jquery. One of the default things it provides is fade/appear transitions..

Yep, you can use jQuery or Scriptaculous. Both have nice effect library. I prefer jQuery though, very lightweight.
