JQuery/Ajax return Success message and display Saved indicator

This is my first try with JQuery/Ajax. I have a RadDatePicker, where on selection of a date, the date is saved in the DB and the user should get a message that date is saved. The RadDatePicker calls a function on its event OnDateSelected as follows(C#):

 radDatePicker.ClientEvents.OnDateSelected = "function(sender, args){SaveDate(sender,args," + PriceDealProposalId + ")}";

The javascript function SaveDate successfully calls a webservice to save the date selected.

 function SaveDate(sender, e, id) { if (e.get_newDate() != null) { $.ajax({ url: "/", data: "{priceDealProposalId:" + id + ",proposalDate: " + JSON.stringify(e.get_newDate()) + "}", dataType: "json", type: "POST", contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8", success: function (data) { alert("saved"); } }); } }

The above successfully saves the value and alerts a message. Instead of an alert I want to display a text message near this RadDatePicker control which says "Saved" and disappears in a few seconds. I am not sure how to interpret this success message and display a text. Please help me.

Try this code,

Create a div with id='msg'. And use this success function.

success: function(data) { $('#msg').html(data).fadeIn('slow'); //$('#msg').html("data insert successfully").fadeIn('slow') //also show a success message $('#msg').delay(5000).fadeOut('slow'); }

You just need to set the Display:none attribute to the element you want to show on Success Callback

HTML

<p>Saved</p>

Success Callback

success: function (data) { $("#myElem").show(); setTimeout(function() { $("#myElem").hide(); }, 5000); }
