You seem to be confusing Java and JavaScript — they are very different programming languages. — Quentin, Aug 22 '11 at 19:46
you cannot do this, you can use a temporized div to show customized messages to user. — Fabio Cicerchia, Aug 22 '11 at 19:58

You cannot close a JavaScript alert box, the user has to. If you want to do something like this, I suggest using a custom modal popup (like jQuery UI).

There is no way to close classic alert box. You can male your own using HTML + lock events, and use timer for closing.
