Using the fade-in highlight seems like a much cleaner, and more appropriate take on notification. While it looks cool (and uses some nice JS), this script doesn’t seem practical in most situations.

They use a non-inline alert box that is similar to this. It's not nearly as obtrusive, but it's the same concept. I think that inline messages are great, but in a web application, it's often better to display alerts in a consistent manner, from a usability standpoint, as well as from an implementation standpoint. For all of you Mootools users (myself being one), there's a Mootools equivalent of this script: http://digitarald.de/project/roar/ @oskar have you used many of google’s apps?

I'm a web apps developer, and anytime I need to display a message to a user, I use an inline message. I can't imagine a time when having a footer div shake and popup would be better than having displaying a quick, inline message. Seems like overkill... @Rob

Seems like a simple proof-of-concept. Quite frankly I can’t think of a situation where this could come in useful. Seems like a simple proof-of-concept.
