I\'ve been looking for a notification bar like the one on this site that displays at the top notifying a user of changes etc. It should have the ability of being closed. All
Super easy to build your own. Just make it the first Then on your notifications, simply slide it down: And add a click event to close it and clear out the notification: Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/AlienWebguy/Azh4b/ If you wanted to really make it like StackOverflow's you'd simply set a cookie when you issue the notification, and then every page load show all notifications which have applicable cookies. If you want multiple notifications, change Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/AlienWebguy/5hjPY/ tag, and set the css to something like this:
#notify {
position:relative;
width:100%;
background-color:orange;
height:50px;
color:white;
display:none;
}
$('#notify').html('new message').slideDown();
$('#notify').click(function(){
$(this).slideUp().empty();
});
#notify to .notify and stack em up. Something like this: $('.notify').live('click',function() {
$(this).slideUp('fast',function(){$(this).remove();});
});
$(function(){
notify('You have earned the JQuery badge!');
notify('You have earned the Super Awesome badge!');
});
function notify(msg) {
$('').prependTo('body').addClass('notify').html(msg).slideDown();
}
