jGrowl

jGrowl is a jQuery plugin that raises unobtrusive messages within the browser, similar to the way that OS X's Growl Framework works. The idea is simple, deliver notifications to the end user in a noticeable way that doesn't obstruct the work flow and yet keeps the user informed.

Example usages

// Sample 1
$.jGrowl("Hello world!");
// Sample 2
$.jGrowl("Stick this!", { sticky: true });
// Sample 3
$.jGrowl("A message with a header", { header: 'Important' });
// Sample 4
$.jGrowl("A message that will live a little longer.", { life: 10000 });
// Sample 5
$.jGrowl("A message with a beforeOpen callback and a different opening animation.", {
	beforeClose: function(e,m) {
		alert('About to close this notification!');
	},
	animateOpen: {
		height: 'show'
	}
});
