Does jQuery have a plugin to display a “message bar” like the Twitter “wrong password” bar at the top of screen?

by

You can do this with just a few lines of code, like this:

​​​​function topBar(​​​message) {
  $("<div />", { 'class': 'topbar', text: message }).hide().prependTo("body")
      .slideDown('fast').delay(10000).slideUp(function() { $(this).remove(); });
}

Then just give the class you use some styling, for example:

.topbar { 
    background: #990000; 
    border-bottom: solid 2px #EEE; 
    padding: 3px 0; 
    text-align: center; 
    color: white;
}​

You can view a working demo here, tweak as needed 🙂 This creates a <div> on the fly, adds it to the top of the body, so no funky positioning to worry about, this should be just fine in IE6. When it’s finished it’ll slideUp and remove the <div> it created to cleanup. You can add a click handler to remove it instantly, etc, whatever your needs are.
