Gem growl-rails

The gem growl-rails leverages the popular jQuery library jquery.growl to make flash messages come alive.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'growl-rails'

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install growl-rails

Require the growl assets in your javascript/css files.

*/

  else
    flash[:error] = "Please check the errors below"
    render :new
  end
end
