title: How to Automatically Close Alerts using Twitter Bootstrap
body: <p>I'm using twitter's bootstrap CSS framework (which is fantastic).  For some messages to users I am displaying them using the alerts Javascript JS and CSS. </p>
  
  <p>For those interested, it can be found here: <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#alerts">http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#alerts</a></p>
  
  <p>My issue is this; after I've displayed an alert to a user I'd like it to just go away after some time interval.  Based on twitter's docs and the code I've looked through it looks like this is not baked in:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>My first question is a request for confirmation that this is indeed NOT baked into Bootstrap</li>
  <li>Secondly, how can I achieve this behavior? </li>
  </ul>
