Not sure what you are asking!
Close alerts you can close them by clicking in the X at the top right of the alert box.
Timed alerts, you mean to close the alerts after a set amount of time?

Jegan what version of ZF are you using?
Thanks for letting me know, I will try it out and see if it was a bug that they fixed.

Mike,
This article is for unit testing. If you want to work with ajax I suggest reading this article I wrote some time ago. http://www.smooka.com/blog/2009/04/17/5-things-wo...
It lists 5 things you need to know when working with ajax and zend framework.

thanks

Kiran,
The 4th parameter is the width of the box. Height should be automatically.

$('body').jAlert('This is a jAlert Success Box with custom width of 780px', 'success', 'widthcustom', 780);

If you know how to use svn you can checkout the latest version from google code. http://code.google.com/p/jalert/
This version is the latest, and it adheres to jquery plugin standards. and the options are passed as an array. I will release this version soon with some documentation.

Well that's what I had initially, but if you use it inside a unit test (assuming you are using Zend_Test_PHPUnit) I was running into the problem specified above. Not sure if this is a bug, or a change based on a specific version.
But thanks for sharing!

Great to hear that this solution worked for you.

Felipe you can center it by displaying the message against the body tag.
<code>
$('body').jAlert('This is a message');
</code>
You can also put an vertical offset, so it's not in the top edge. You can view an example in the demo page http://www.smooka.com/projects/jalert/

Thanks

Not sure what you did.. but I'm glad it worked!
I started to work on a new version, of this plugin that adheres to some standards and I will be incorporating some needed improvements.
