Answer 1

var h = document.getElementById("highlight");
window.onload = function () {
  // when the page loads, set the background to red
  h.style.backgroundColor = "#f00";

  // after 1 second (== 1000ms)
  window.setTimeout(function () {
    // ...revert this, use the original color
    h.style.backgroundColor = "";
  }, 1000);
};
