The alerts are from these components you even usually do not consider as far as you extremely get to need them. They are put to use for providing fast in time information for the user working with the website hopefully aiming his or hers focus to a specific direction or evoking certain actions.

The alerts are most often used as well as forms to give the user a tip if a field has been filled in wrongly, which is the correct format expected or which is the status of the submission once the submit button has been clicked.

As most of the elements in the Bootstrap framework the alerts also do have a well-kept predefined look and semantic classes which can be used according to the particular circumstance where the Bootstrap Alert has been shown on screen.
