The clear functions like clearFormMessages('error') or even clearAllFormMessages() often don’t work as expected inside an onLoad or onsubmit client script because of timing issues. 

Why clear functions don’t work well in onLoad:

  • When the form is loading, the messages you add (like with addFormMessage) haven’t actually been shown on the screen yet — they are just “queued” to appear.

  • If you call a clear function right away in the same onLoad script, it tries to clear messages before they exist visually.

  • So the clear call doesn’t find any message elements to remove, and nothing happens.
