Using Lazr error

The Lazr error helper allows generic error handling for site-wide issues such as ajax-related errors, via the lazr.error.display_error() method.

Demo

Enter your error here:

A second error should appear in the error widget after 3 seconds.

Page setup

The following Javascript and CSS files have been included for the example on this page (Note: error overlay currently extends overlay - we should invert this):

Javascript

    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../build/lazr/lazr-meta.js"></script>

Widget Setup

There is no setup necessary for the error overlay. When calling display_error() you simply pass the error message that should be displayed.


    Y.lazr.error.display_error("Your error message.");

Passing an optional node to flash

You can optionally pass a node (or a selector) that should be brought to the viewers attention. This node will be flashed red before the error is displayed.


    Y.lazr.error.display_error("Your error message.", '#input_box');
