The alert element
Release 2.0 - ...
The author-optional element alert provides a convenient way to attach alert or error information to a form control.
The message specified can exist in instance data (using a Single Node Binding) or as inline text, where when both specified a Single Node Binding takes precedence over inline text.
This element is (usually) rendered in place next to the control which has invalid input.
