Solved. After much trial and error. Wish it was documented somewhere. The steps are fairly straightforward:
1. {{include 'web2py_ajax.html'}} 2. place <div class="flash">{{=response.flash or ''}}</div> somewhere in the body 3. <style> div.flash { position: fixed; float: right; padding: 10px; top: 10px; right: 30px; opacity: 0.75; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px; text-align: center; clear: both; color: #fff; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; cursor: pointer; background: black; border: 2px solid #fff; -moz-border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; z-index: 2; } div.error { background-color: red; color: white; padding: 3px; }</style> On Friday, 21 February 2014 22:47:17 UTC-5, horridohobbyist wrote: > > I'm trying to apply a new layout from a third-party CSS template.
