I think that'd be good, or perhaps more of an API. One way to do it would be to attach different styles to the flash, perhaps. For my own applications, I'd like to distinguish errors from information notices with color. Also, if an error requires that the user do something to correct it (that is, the landing page isn't really what the user was after), I'd be inclined to leave it up (no fade-out), while purely informational or greeting messages that don't require user action would fade. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
