HALP! Does anyone know of a jQuery plugin that has notifications like they do on...

I think http://stanlemon.net/pages/jgrowl is very close.

  jGrowl is a jQuery plugin that raises unobtrusive messages 
  within the browser, similar to the way that OS X's Growl
  Framework works.

It is pretty old by now (4 years), but a benefit of that is that it supports older browsers too.

And this plug-in is also close. Build on top of jQuery UI, so small footprint, but you'd need that library.

  This is a growl/ubuntu-like notification system built on 
  top of jQuery UI.

It's a DIV with a border-radius and a semi-transparent black background. It's just CSS, why use a jQuery plugin? Why not just quickly build it yourself?

Because it is an alert. I need it to fade in and then disappear. I mean I guess I could build it but was wondering if there is a complete library out there to handle the alerting and all the options a modern notification library has.

I found this project that would fit the bill: http://fabien-d.github.com/alertify.js/

See "Customizable Log Messages".
