So I'd still maintain that in spirit, this scenario is covered, but agree it should be more explicitly addressed in the understanding document as an example (perhaps as a failure example - the alert appearing and then disappearing, with the suggestion to simply remove the automatic hiding/disappearing and to leave it visible until the user dismises it explicitly with a "Close" or "Got it..." type control; failing that, suggesting that the site should provide some global setting for users to disable auto-hiding of alerts, so that the alerts could do the current hiding, but that a user who has problems with this can switch it off) P -- Patrick H.
