Come to think of it, there should be three modes, not teo: ajax,

Hence, ajax='true' should be changed too, maybe to

Ah, right. Not sure what's the best solution for this. Have you done some 
research on how others
avoid using JS for things like pop-up windows? I hope you can come up with 
something general that
won't increase complexity of existing XSLT templates.

Well, you can use hidden DIVs, to be displayed when an "on hover" event 
is triggered.

Off the top of my head:
...
    <style type="text/css">
      .errmsg div {
        display:none;
      }
      .errmsg:hover div {
        display:block;
        position:absolute;
        top:inherit;
        left:inherit;
        z-index:10;
        width:50%;
        background-color:red;
        color:white;
        font-size:1.3em;
        }
    </style>
...
    <div class="errmsg">
      Error
      <div>
        <img 
src="http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/blocks/forms/1.0/images/errors.gif"/>
        This is a rather annoying error message
      </div>
    </div>

I'm sure a web designer coudl come up with something better.


If it's not possible I would recommend creation of your own forms-customized 
block that will inherit
from original Cocoon block and override necessary templates. Thanks to SSF 
capabilities there are
very clean ways to customize such things.

That's absolutely true: I'm starting to appreciate what SSF can do.
