Firefox 3 with a bunch of addons crash when I click on the demo links.

  By any chance do you have an old version of Firebug loaded? It used to crash my FF a lot until I upgraded it to the newest version.

    Thanks, I thought that I had the last version but I had 1.2.0b3. Updating to 1.2.0b4 fixed the crashes.

tried on the iPhone. Works, but the messages don't appear near where the user action is being done so if I am not zoomed out, nothing appears to be happening.

  You should write a patch!

The extensibility of jQuery continues to move the library forward in cool new ways. Love it.

One of the advantages of Growl being run at the OS level is that all apps can fire to Growl and the user see it. An in-browser Growl is going to be limited to firing events only while the user is on the same page.

  I don't think the applications of jgrowl are the same as the system growl alerts. I imagine this being used for webapp-specific notifications, much the same way as iminlikewithyou.

    Or thesixtyone.com, which (over)uses an almost identical growl clone.

jQuery is the best Javascript library ever. seriously, plugins, their structure, and in 30kb. And no weird licensing like ExtJS :/

  Upped. I've only been using jQuery for about 3 months and it has continually impressed me with its large feature-set and ease of development.

  I would say they are for different things really. ExtJS is all about pre build widgets you can compose into other widgets, saving work, but sticking within how they work and look (skinnable). jQuery gives you much more control but at a lower level (widget wise).

Here is a MooTools version: http://digitarald.de/project/roar/ http://digitarald.de/project/roar/ I like jQuery, but I think this is better than Jgrowl.

  What's better about it?

    Personally, I like the default visual effects better.

    Messages placed along the right side of the screen appear off the edge of the page and therefore create a scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.

I was about to write my own version of Growl. But good thing this library managed to float up.
