You can also achieve this with RJS / Rails Helpers:

if the error message is set thorugh an AJAX response, you would do something like in the rjs partial you render for the response:

page.replace_html :div_id "Your erro message here" page.delay(2) do   page.replace_html :div_id, "" end

if it's a complete page refresh:

<div id="div_id"><%= @error_msg</div> <script> update_page do |page|   page.delay(2) do     page.replace_html :div_id, ""   end end </script>
