title: Can Twitter Bootstrap alerts fade in as well as out?
body: <p>When I first saw the alerts in Bootstrap I thought they would behave like the modal window does, dropping down or fading in, and then fading out when closed. But it seems like they are always visible. I guess I could have them sit in a layer above my app and manage showing them but I was wondering if the functionality was built in?</p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
  
  <p>Edit, what I have so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="saveAlert" class="alert-message success fade in" data-alert="alert" style="top:0"&gt;
    &lt;a class="close" href="#"&gt;×&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well done!&lt;/strong&gt; You successfully read this alert message.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
