title: Is there a way to display a short message to the screen and have it disappear?
body: <p>I am looking to display a short message to the screen and have it diappear after a few seconds.  Is there a way to do that?</p>
  
  <p>I am looking at alerts, but it doesn't seem like that is what I need.</p>
  
  <p>What I am looking for is something equivalent of toast messages in Android if that helps explain my question.</p>
