March 2012: Version 3.0 has just been released!

Alert boxes are obtrusive, ugly and usually just annoying. Not any more, meet Owl:

Owl is a feature-packed jQuery-plugin, yet very easy to use. The notifications are elegant and beautiful, of course unobtrusive and can be presented in a lot of ways. The killer features:

• Handsome and small iOS-like notifications.
• Beautiful animations (Chrome, Safari, recent versions of Firefox and IE10 are supported for the moment)
• Time since creation of a notification – updated every 4th second!
• Include images in your notification. Either as an icon or as a bigger filed photo
• Choose between over 100 vector glyphs, if you don’t want to use an image
• Timeout, set your notification to hide itself after a certain amount of time.
• Error notifications
• Callback function, have full control of what will happen after the user clicks on a notification.
• Lightweight script (3 KB), markup and CSS3 (vector-based!)

Comprehensive documentation included.
