You should use a message widget that is embedded within a css style that
highlights the message if it contains anything. When you want to add a
message use:
form.getWidget("message").addMessage("My Message");
Define the widget in the form model:
<fd:messages id="message">
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
</fd:messages>
In your template:
<div id="message" class="messageSection">
<div class="messageSectionStyle"><ft:widget id="message"/></div>
</div>
In your style sheet (or you can include it in the page)
.messageSection {
background-color: #E1E0D7;
border: 2px inset #C9C9C9;
}
.messageSectionStyle {
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 10pt;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #336699;
}

I see two solutions (for now):
* can't the styling for the "message" widget work so that it doesn't
display anything when there's no message?
* or else, set "somewhere" a flag to indicate the message widget should
be shown, and then use jx:if/jx:choose in the template to check the
value of the flag. As for that "somewhere", this could be:
- an attribute on the form (see Form.setAttribute)
- something passed as viewData to the pipeline
- or again easiest, just check the value of the widget itself,
only display if it has a value
BTW, what is the type of your "message" widget?
