Answer 1

you need to try the code like this.

    $form.find('[type=submit]').removeAttr('disabled');
    var h = '<div id="custommessage" class="message-success success message"><div>' + res.message + '</div></div>';
    $(h).insertBefore($form);
    $form.hide();
    setTimeout(function () {
         $('#custommessage').remove();
    }, 2000);
