Here’s the CSS used followed by the Erb code I use in my layout:

    There is also sexy_flash, but I can only find four effects that work and it is buggy with redirects and renders.

    Thanks, I used the style css of this tutorial for the message boxes:

    and content_tag :span instead content_tag :div

    The result is very nice.

    Thanks again.
