Bootstrap Alert Warning

Introduction

The alerts are from all these components you even really don't think of till you totally get to need them. They are put to use for offering prompt in time information for the user interacting with the website hopefully aiming his or hers attention to a specific direction or evoking specific actions.

The alerts are most commonly used along with forms to give the user a idea if a area has been filled in incorrectly, which is the correct format expected or which is the status of the submission after the submit button has been clicked.

As the majority of the elements in the Bootstrap framework the alerts also do have a nice predefined look and semantic classes that may possibly be used according the particular scenario where the Bootstrap Alert Warning has been displayed on screen.

  <strong>Warning!</strong> Better check yourself, you're <a href="#" class="alert-link">not looking too good</a>.
</div>

  <strong>Oh snap!</strong> <a href="#" class="alert-link">Change a few things up</a> and try submitting again.
</div>

</div>
