The biggest issue is that on a page with 15 items, the user could be scrolled half way down the page, so putting the messages at the top(like gmail) doesn't really work. ------------------------------Here's an alternate thought
Have an action area and a content area. Place the list items in the content area and make the content area scrollable. Place the action area below the content area or along the side of the content area. The user can scroll the content area that has the list items and take any actions on the items. Once an action is performed, the action area becomes active and displays feedback/error messages. User can also undo or perform other actions in the action area. Have the action area as a expand/collapse panel. This will allow to display more list items when the action area is not active. Provide a prominent link in the action area if there is a need to see all actions that have been taken on the list items. Clicking this link should take the user to a web2.0 translucent page (as John suggested) that would list all the actions that the user has performed in the past. -Suba Periyasami > > ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
