Bootstrap Alert Auto Close
I found this to be a better solution
$(".alert-dismissible").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function(){
$(".alert-dismissible").alert('close');
});
Why all the other answers use slideUp is just beyond me. As I'm using the fade and in classes to have the alert fade away when closed (or after timeout), I don't want it to "slide up" and conflict with that.
Besides the slideUp method didn't even work. The alert itself didn't show at all. Here's what worked perfectly for me:
$(document).ready(function() {
// show the alert
setTimeout(function() {
$(".alert").alert('close');
}, 2000);
});
For a smooth slide-up:-
$("#success-alert").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function(){
$("#success-alert").slideUp(500);
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#success-alert").hide();
$("#myWish").click(function showAlert() {
$("#success-alert").fadeTo(2000, 500).slideUp(500, function() {
$("#success-alert").slideUp(500);
});
});

I think it's better using other options like a delay()
$(".alert").delay(4000).slideUp(200, function() {
$(this).alert('close');
});
