All messages that were generated for all components on the current page. If an <apex:message> or <apex:messages> component is not included in a page, most warning and error messages are only shown in the debug log.
This component supports HTML pass-through attributes using the "html-" prefix. Pass-through attributes are attached to the generated <ul> tag. (Each message is contained in a list item.)
<!-- For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page with a valid account record in the URL. For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the account ID, the resulting URL should be: https://Salesforce_instance/apex/myPage?id=001D000000IRt53 See the Visualforce Developer's Guide Quick Start Tutorial for more information. --> <!-- Page: --> <apex:page controller="MyController" tabStyle="Account"> <apex:messages /> <apex:form > <apex:pageBlock title="Hello {!$User.FirstName}!"> This is your new page for the {!name} controller. <br/> You are viewing the {!account.name} account. <p>Number of Locations: <apex:inputField value="{!account.NumberofLocations__c}" id="Location_validation"/> (Enter an alphabetic character here, then click save to see what happens.) </p> <p>Number of Employees: <apex:inputField value="{!account.NumberOfEmployees}" id="Employee_validation"/> (Enter an alphabetic character here, then click save to see what happens.) </p> <p /> <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/> <p /> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:page> /*** Controller ***/ public class MyController { Account account; public PageReference save() { try{ update account; } catch(DmlException ex){ ApexPages.addMessages(ex); } return null; } public String getName() { return 'MyController'; } public Account getAccount() { if(account == null) account = [select id, name, numberofemployees, numberoflocations__c from Account where id = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')]; return account; } }
