Provide contextual feedback messages for typical user actions with the handful of available and flexible alert messages.
Wrap any text and an optional dismiss button in `.alert` and one of the four contextual classes (e.g., `.alert-success`) for basic alert messages.
## Examples
{% callout info %}
#### No default class
Alerts don't have default classes, only base and modifier classes. A default gray alert doesn't make too much sense, so you're required to specify a type via contextual class. Choose from success, info, warning, or danger.
{% endcallout %}
Alerts are available for any length of text, as well as an optional dismiss button. For proper styling, use one of the four **required** contextual classes (e.g., `.alert-success`). For inline dismissal, use the [alerts jQuery plugin](#dismissing).

### Dismissing
Build on any alert by adding an optional `.alert-dismissible` and [close button]().
{% example html %}
<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible" role="alert">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
<span class="sr-only">Close</span>
</button>
<strong>Warning!</strong> Better check yourself, you're not looking too good.
</div>
{% endexample %}
{% callout warning %}
#### Ensure proper behavior across all devices
Be sure to use the `<button>` element with the `data-dismiss="alert"` data attribute.

### Dismissing
## Examples
Using the alert JavaScript plugin, it's possible to dismiss any alert inline. Here's how:
- Be sure you've loaded the alert plugin, or the compiled Bootstrap JavaScript.
- Add a dismiss button and the `.alert-dismissible` class, which adds extra padding to the right of the alert and positions the `.close` button.
- On the dismiss button, add the `data-dismiss="alert"` attribute, which triggers the JavaScript functionality. Be sure to use the `<button>` element with it for proper behavior across all devices.
- To animate alerts when dismissing them, be sure to add the `.fade` and `.in` classes.
You can see this in action with a live demo:

When using a `.close` button, it must be the first child of the `.alert-dismissible` and no text content may come before it in the markup.
## JavaScript behavior
{% example html %}
<div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade in" role="alert">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
<h5 class="alert-heading">Sorry, something went wrong.</h5>

### Markup
Just add `data-dismiss="alert"` to your close button to automatically give an alert close functionality. Closing an alert removes it from the DOM.
Or with `data` attributes on a button **within the alert**, as demonstrated above:

To have your alerts use animation when closing, make sure they have the `.fade` and `.in` classes already applied to them.
Note that closing an alert will remove it from the DOM.
