Cool, I like that. Thanks for the link.

Instead of these being activated by clicking a link can they be activated by inserting the cursor in form field? I’d like to work out how to use these to provide contextual help items.

Take a look at:
http://stanlemon.net/jgrowl-1.1.0/jgrowl.html

This defines a theme using the same smoke.png that the MooTools Growl library uses and it additionally defines a theme to parallel jQuery UI’s Flora theme.

Little bit of CSS and you can really dress this up any way you want.

I didn’t saw examples with jgrowl and images yet, like within the MooTools Grow, do you think it’s possible too? (didn’t had time to test it yet)

[...] jGrowl – Unobtrusive Notification System for jQuery | Web Resources | WebAppers (tags: jquery javascript notification growl script) [...]

Adam,
There are a number of ways you can accomplish this. One project I use has a generic notification pool located at a RESTful url, so after every AJAX request another AJAX request is fired off to that pool to get any “notifications” that have been raised. These then are raised in jGrowl by that request. That is though, perhaps a more complex model. Another option is simply to set the ’success’ property of $.ajax() options object to raise the notification for you. This assumes ajax request X will have response Y or Z, Y if it fails and Z if it is successful. Broader implementations will need to be more aware of the structure for notifications, ie. if the AJAX request always returns a JSON node with a message property, then you could write a global AJAX complete method that send that message property to jGrowl.

Hope that helps.
