How to use getMessage("message key") in client script?

[PhoenixMing0912]

Hi all,

I am using gs.getMessage() in business rule?

I am wondering how to use it in client script? I have tried g_form.getMessage(), but not working.

Regards,
Ming

@PhoenixMing0912 

it should be called like this in client script

getMessage("Your Message Key here", function(msg){
alert(msg); 
});

Output:

Can I use second parameter as message varient?

Hi,

I believe the client side allows only 1 parameter; server side allows 2 parameters

check below links for help

Hi there,

You can just use the message field in combination with getMessage in Client Scripts and Catalog Client Scripts.

Do apply the message field! This preloads your message. If you don't do this, on initial load your message is not loaded.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
