Question

So I want to do look a like stackoverflow with the message at the top.

Now I have all configured and such, but I got one problem.. The message only displays 1st time, second time it doesn’t appear.

I know why, something about every id must be unique or something in a div.. And then I’ve used rand(1, 300); (php) and it still won’t work.

Here’s my codes:

function checkSession(){
    $.ajax({url: "session.php", success: function(data){
         if( data == 1){
            var postFilen = 'msg.php';
            $.post(postFilen, function(data){
            $(".msg").html(data).find(".message2").fadeIn("slow")
            setTimeout(function(checkSession) {
    $('.msg').fadeOut('slow');
}, 10000);
            });  
         }else{ 
             $('.message2').hide();
         }
    }});
// setInterval('checkSession()',1000);
}

index.php:

<div class="msg" id="msg" ></div>

msg.php:

<div class="message2" id="message2" onclick="closeNotice2()" style="display: none">
Yo, <b><? echo $pusername; ?></b> - <? echo $_SESSION["user_message"]; ?> 
<a class="close-notify" onclick="closeNotice2()">X</a>
</div> 

CloseNotice2() – (just in case if you want to see that too):

function closeNotice2() {
    $(".message2").fadeOut("slow");
} 

session.php:

if(isset($_SESSION['user_message'])) {
echo 1; 
}

CSS:

.message2 {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 105; /* Anything higher than 1 will do */
    background-color: #034678; 
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 100%;
    text-align: center;
    font-weight: bold;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #FFF;
  height: 26 px;
  width: 100%;
}
.message2 span {
    text-align: center;
    width: 95%;
    float:left;
}

I think that’s all. Hope you can help me out.

Answer 1

Finally i found out the error myself, and it was the timeout() function, inside the checksession(); .. It works like a charm now 🙂

I just needed to remove this:

setTimeout(function() {
    $('.msg').fadeOut('slow');
        }, 5000);

I dont know how to fix this, but i will ask in another question because i find this answered now! But thanks henchman and Alan, for taking your time to try to answer me
