Alert messages are used to inform users of the status of their action and help them solve any problems that might have occurred. Good design of alert modals is very important for the overall user experience of a website or app.
Default markup
Depending on the information you need to convey, you can use one of the following types of alert messages - success , info , warning or danger . Using the right type of alert modal will help draw users’ attention to the message and prompt them to take action.
Wow! Everything worked!

Did you know?
Here is something that you might like to know.
Uh oh, something went wrong
Sorry! There was a problem with your request.
I'm so sorry…

<h4 class= "alert-title" > I'm so sorry… </h4>
<div class= "text-muted" > Your account has been deleted and can't be restored.</div>
</div>
Alert links
Add a link to your alert message to redirect users to the details they need to complete or additional information they should read.
<div class= "alert alert-success" role= "alert" >
This is a success alert — <a href= "#" class= "alert-link" > check it out</a> !
</div>
<div class= "alert alert-info" role= "alert" >
This is a info alert — <a href= "#" class= "alert-link" > check it out</a> !
</div>
<div class= "alert alert-warning" role= "alert" >
This is a warning alert — <a href= "#" class= "alert-link" > check it out</a> !
</div>
<div class= "alert alert-danger" role= "alert" >
This is a danger alert — <a href= "#" class= "alert-link" > check it out</a> !
</div>
Dismissible alerts
Add the x
close button to make an alert modal dismissible. Thanks to that, your alert modal will disappear only once the user closes it.
