I’m working on a Grails plugin called Growler, which provides Growl-like notifications within a webpage using jquery, jquery-ui, and the jGrowl jquery plugin.
It is still in the alpha release at the moment, and there are plenty of things that need work, but has been fun and easy so far using jquery usefully. I hope to mature this to a point that it can be used seamlessly.
The growl content is coming from the remote function response, and it is really easy to specify that the response should be rendered within a growl notification.

Matt this looks cool. I would imagine that this would be particularly useful if it could hook into a comet plugin so that alerts can just come in from the server. eg “Your long-running process X has now completed”.
BTW “Growler”… is a euphism in UK for … ok let me give a usage example “The filthy minger flashed her growler at me Sharon Stone style, I was most put off”
Yeah, the comet thing would be great. I’m not sure what to say about the “Growler” name, but I hope it doesn’t prevent Brits from using the plugin.
