This will hide the div after 1 second (1000 milliseconds).
setTimeout(function() {_x000D_
$('#mydiv').fadeOut('fast');_x000D_
}, 1000); // <-- time in milliseconds
_x000D_
#mydiv{_x000D_
width: 100px;_x000D_
height: 100px;_x000D_
background: #000;_x000D_
color: #fff;_x000D_
text-align: center;_x000D_

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<div id="mydiv">myDiv</div>

.
