# How to hide the Oracle APEX success message using JavaScript

## Introduction

When building applications in Oracle APEX, it's common to display success messages to the user after specific actions, such as submitting a form or updating data. However, in some cases, it may be desirable to hide these success messages after a few seconds. This tutorial will help you implement a solution to this using JavaScript.

## Steps

* Visit [https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/r/apex\_pm/ut/javascript-apis](https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/r/apex_pm/ut/javascript-apis) or copy the below-given code snippet.
    

```javascript
apex.jQuery(function() {
  apex.theme42.util.configAPEXMsgs({
    autoDismiss: true,
    duration: 3000  // duration is optional (Default is 3000 milliseconds)
  });
});
```

* Go to the Global Page( Page30)
    
* Click on Dynamic Actions
    
* Create a Dynamic Action of type "Execute JavaScript Code" on the page load
    
* Paste the copied code snippet. Adjust the duration and click OK, then Save the page.
    

## Outcome

The message will be hidden after the duration specified in the code. Thus the user need not close the success message manually.
