Alerts

Examples

Alerts are available for any length of text, as well as an optional dismiss button. For proper styling, use one of the four required contextual classes (e.g., .alert-success).

Link color

Use the .alert-link utility class to quickly provide matching colored links within any alert.

Dismissing

Using the alert JavaScript plugin, it's possible to dismiss any alert inline. Here's how:
  • Be sure you've loaded the alert plugin, or the compiled Bootstrap JavaScript.
  • Add a dismiss button and the .alert-dismissible class, which adds extra padding to the right of the alert and positions the .close button.
  • On the dismiss button, add the data-dismiss="alert" attribute, which triggers the JavaScript functionality. Be sure to use the <button> element with it for proper behavior across all devices.
  • To animate alerts when dismissing them, be sure to add the .fade and .in classes.
