Error Message Box

Hi everybody

 

Apologies if I have posted in the incorrect forum, mods please move if incorrect .

 

I am trying to change the appearance of the error message boxes from the default pink background and red error triangle.

 

I have changed the Style Sheet properties already but I want to add "cell padding" and a "border" to the message but cannot find the appropriate piece of PHP code to change.

 

For example : in the "contact_us.php" file there is "<?php echo $messageStack->output('contact'); ?>" that displays the error message with the pink background and red triangle. How do I add "cell padding" and a "border" to this message ?

Totally stumped after searching for hours through the code. I think it could be in boxes.php or messagestack.php

 

Anybody got any ideas ?

Maybe in the stylesheet:

 

.messageStackError, .messageStackWarning { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: #ffb3b5; }
.messageStackSuccess { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: #99ff00; }

You really can't add "cellpadding" in the stylesheet, but you can add code like:

 

	border: 2px;
padding: 10px;

to the styles used to display the messages.

 

Just a thought...

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I tried that earlier and it did not work.

 

Then I realized that I needed to add border-style & border-color to get it to display.

 

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, got it working now. (I spent about 2 hours today trying to figure it out!)

 

Your speedy response is awesome, thank you a million times over !!

For those that are interested, this is what works quite well for me:

 

.messageStackError, .messageStackWarning { 
 border-style: solid; 
 border-width: 1px;
 border-color: #FFFFFF; 
 padding: 5px; 
 background-color: red;  
 font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; 
 font-size: 10px; 
 font-weight: bold; 
 }
