Not to be inflammatory in anyway but how is this any better than some of the existing libraries, such as jGrowl etc? I'm looking for some 'arguments' to seriously consider something like this - Thank you ;-)

This one doesn't have a dependency on jQuery if that's a selling point for you. There is also an option to wait for mouse / keyboard input before dismissing, which is kind of nice as well.

Otherwise it seems similar to most of the others.

I'm sure that this is a really well implemented piece of code. However, just as a personal preference (this is not a flame or attack, just some feedback), I think a site using this would be a site I'd stop using. I find the dialog really annoying because the effect of blocking user input in order to display some sort of message seems really inhumane to me. There are better ways to do notifications without pushing a big dialog, with some text, in the face of the user.

That's a theme, try the libnotify one instead.

Ahh, thanks. Libnotify works really well on mobile Safari. The notification stays pinned to the top right of the browser, even as I pinch-zoom in and out.
