Twitter like alert after form submit in jquery...

Just got my example to work and here it is,



function topBar(message) {
    var $alert = $('<div/>');
    $alert.text(message);
    $alert.click(function() {
        $(this).slideUp(200);
    });
    $(body).append($alert);
    setTimeout(function() { $alert.slideUp(200) }, 5000);
}


and css:


#alert
{
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: #FF0000;
height: 0;
color: #FFFFFF;
font: 20px/40px arial, sans-serif;
opacity: .9;
}


Try it and let me know for doubts...
