Render g_form.showFieldMsg with HTML

[The SN Nerd]

I want to output a g_form.showFieldMsg with a word in bold.

I have tried using UI Messages, ${AMP}, < & > to no avail.

Can this be done cleanly?

How to change the HTML that g_form.showFieldMsg generates in the DOM

Hi Paul,

One way you can achieve it through client script:

I was able to make the error message text size bigger.

function onLoad() {

      g_form.showFieldMsg('number','Hello World!','error');

  if($j('div.notification-error').length){

    $j('div.notification-error').css('font-size','20px');

  }

}

As per wiki, I should also be able to do the same with below properties but for some reason it didn't work for me (may be it works for older releases).

The css.outputmsg.info.text.font-size property sets the size for info messages. Default is 11pt

The css.outputmsg.error.text.font-size property sets the size for error messages. Default is 11pt

Hope it helps!

I'm looking to make one word in a sentence bold/strong without direct DOM manipulation.

The short answer is No, this cannot be done with the g_form.showFieldMsg function.

If you look at the source code for the function you can see the message is added to the DOM as a '#text' node type; which does not support processing embedded mark-up.

     var fieldMsgRow = doc.createElement('DIV');
     fieldMsgRow.className = msgClass;
     fieldMsgRow.hasFieldmsg = true;
     var fieldmsgMsg = doc.createTextNode(message);
     fieldMsgRow.appendChild(fieldmsgMsg);
     fieldMsgContainer.insert(fieldMsgRow);

I hope this helps.
