Back in old days, we used to use the default web browser alert box to send notification to the users. The most annoying thing with the default alert dialogue is its consistency and different browsers handle it differently. You can’t control the title, position and theming it. As a result, we have Javascript notification plugins that would solve all the problems. Here we have 5 top javascript notifications plugins that capable to do more that a normal alert box.
