I thought I'd bring this to the group instead of arguing on GitHub since this is more conducive to discussion.
Currently the alert plugin completely removes the alert div from the DOM when it's clicked, via remove(). My question to the community is whether that is the expected behaviour or if the word "close" implies more of a hide function. The immediate problem I noticed is that if I close an alert I then have to either insert a new element or modify the original alert's default behaviour in order to reuse that element. So, does "close" equal "remove" for most people or does it imply "hide" and therefore default action isn't consistent with expectations? Cheers, Eric
