Does anybody know how to let a message disappear after x seconds? It does work, but disappears almost immediately and then trows an error :(

This is what I have for now:

2. $(document).ready(function() {
     
     $('button').click(function() {
       var message = 'Feedbackmessage';
       feedbackMessage(message);
     });
         
   function feedbackMessage(message) {
       self = $('#feedbackMessage');
       self.empty().append(message);
       setTimeout(self.fadeOut(), 3000);
     }
   });
