##What is this? al is a simple jQuery plugin that acts as an alerting system for your application. Rely on al to populate, show/hide, and facilitate everything involved with alerting your users.
##How do I use this?
####Include jQuery Since this plugin is dependent on jQuery, you'll need that in your project first. You can download from jQuery.
Include in your page:
<script src="jquery.js"></script> ####Download library files Next, download al.js and al.css into your project, and including them in your page like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="al.css" /> <script src="al.js"></script> It's important to note that you need to include jQuery first, without it the plugin initialization will fail.
####HTML Structure In order to show the alert box, you'll need to place the HTML structure on the page somewhere. That structure looks like this:
<div id="alBox"></div> It doesn't really matter where you place it in your page because it will be hidden on page load as long as al.css is loaded too.
####Pop up an alert At this point, you're ready to pop an alert up. Just make sure you call the alert after the al.js plugin is loaded into the page. A call looks like this:
$("#alBox").al({     context: "success",     text: {         title: "Success!",         description: "This is an example of an alert"     },     seconds: 10 }); All of the options are technically optional, but will give you a customized alert.
##Options Here are the current options you can pass the plugin:
| Option | Type | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| context | string | default, success, warning, error | 
| text.title | string | The title bar of your alert | 
| text.description | string | The more verbose description of the alert. | 
| text.dismiss | string | The text of the "dismiss" button | 
| seconds | float | The number of seconds your alert will appear. Can also define as "infinite" to stay on screen until dismissal. | 
| classes.container | string | Classes to be added to #alBox | 
| classes.panel | string | Classes to be added to #alBox-panel | 
| classes.title | string | Classes to be added to #alBox-title | 
| classes.description | string | Classes to be added to #alBox-description | 
| classes.hr | string | Classes to be added to the hr element above the dismiss button | 
| classes.dismiss | string | Classes to be added to the dismiss button | 
| redirect | string | URL Location to redirect after the alert is done |
