After a few days work, I am sharing with everyone my first (and surely not the last) prototypejs class. It allows you to easily provide notifications on your website similar to the Growl on the Mac OS.
This exists as a plugin for MooTools and jQuery but I didn’t see one for Prototype so I decided to provide one for the community.

Have you look about adding a memory to the alerts, meaning that if you navigate to another page while a alert is active the alert will reappear on the next page once navigated and have the exact properties that it did previously, ie the hide delay. If the default hide delay is 5 seconds and the user clicks to a new page after the alert being around for 3 seconds then it would only exist for 2 more seconds on the new page once loaded before being cleared.

should read “Have you thought…”

I hadn’t thought about doing that but I like the idea. I will definitely look into adding in the next release. Thanks for the suggestion.

hey kevin.. it works great! you’ve made a great work! thanks!
but. (hehe) I can’t visualize exapmles page on IE7, dunno if its my IE.. on FF3 works great, but as you know that IE is a sh*t, it doesn’t.. I’ve realized that when I’ve tryied to see the class in action on IE… I don’t use usually this crap of browser.. but most common ppl does, so I always check that things works properly.
Thats all,
