Comments on: jGrowl - Unobtrusive Notification System for jQuery http://www.webappers.com/2008/07/07/jgrowl-unobtrusive-notification-system-for-jquery/ - Hunting the Best Open Source Resources for Web Developers Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:19:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Stan http://www.webappers.com/2008/07/07/jgrowl-unobtrusive-notification-system-for-jquery/#comment-15229 Stan Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:45:02 +0000 http://www.webappers.com/?p=1181#comment-15229 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. Pax, SL Adam,

Nothing fancy, just a "Someone has posted a new message" type of thing. Does jGrowl (or anything else) have the capability to remotely listen for this stuff?

Very possible, anything is possible with CSS. :) Edwin: Yes, that link I posted uses the same “Smoke.png” image as the mootools plugin for the bottom right quadrant.

Little bit of CSS and you can really dress this up any way you want. Pax, - Stan Edwin:

A little later I will look into mocking up a demo with some more creative styling. Macca: Yes, as long as the proper DOM is built you can raise a notification at any point. Here at work we often use it in response to AJAX requests. Ray: Thanks for posting about my plugin! Edwin: You should be able to customize this to look like just about anything via CSS.

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