I am new to JS and not sure how to make this work on my page. Below is what I have. How must I make this alert show?

I added the source correctly but not sure how to render the alert.

<!doctype html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Toast</title>
    <link href="toastr.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
    <script src="toastr.js"></script>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
    //toastr.info('Are you the 6 fingered man?')


    Command: toastr[success]("   ", "Settings Saved!")

    toastr.options: {
    "debug": false,
    "positionClass": "toast-top-right",
    "onclick": null,
    "fadeIn": 300,
    "fadeOut": 1000,
    "timeOut": 5000,
    "extendedTimeOut": 1000
    }
    });
    </script>
   </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

Toastr is a very nice component, and you can show messages with theses commands:

// for success - green box
toastr.success('Success messages');

// for errors - red box
toastr.error('errors messages');

// for warning - orange box
toastr.warning('warning messages');

// for info - blue box
toastr.info('info messages');

If you want to provide a title on the toastr message, just add a second argument:

// for info - blue box
toastr.success('The process has been saved.', 'Success');

you also can change the default behaviour using something like this:

toastr.options.timeOut = 3000; // 3s

See more on the github of the project.

A sample of use:

$(document).ready(function() {

    // show when page load
    toastr.info('Page Loaded!');

    $('#linkButton').click(function() {
       // show when the button is clicked
       toastr.success('Click Button');

    });

});

and a html:

<a id='linkButton'>Show Message</a>
