Bootstrap Alert Tutorial

Introduction

The alerts are from these components you even usually do not think about till you really get to really need them. They are put to use for offering fast in time comments for the user working with the web site hopefully pointing his or hers focus to a specific course or evoking certain actions.

The alerts are most commonly used as well as forms to give the user a idea if a field has been completed wrongly, which is the right format expected or which is the status of the submission as soon as the submit button has been pressed.

As most of the elements in the Bootstrap framework the alerts also do have a well-kept predefined visual aspect and semantic classes which may possibly be used according to the particular circumstance in which the Bootstrap Alert has been shown on screen. As it's an alert notification it is very important to take user's focus but still leave him in the zone of comfort nevertheless it might even be an error report. ( more info)

This gets accomplished by use of gentle toned color tones each being intuitively connected to the semantic of the message material such as green for Success, Light Blue for basic details, Light yellow aiming for user's interest and Mild red revealing there is actually something wrong.

Color tone of the hyperlink

It really might actually not be noticed at a glance but the font colour itself is in fact following this colour scheme too-- just the color options are much much darker so get intuitively seen as black nevertheless it's not exactly so.

Exact same goes not only for the alert text message in itself but at the same time for the links included in it-- there are link classes taking away the outline and coloring the anchor elements in the appropriate color so they suit the overall alert text look.
