The INFORMATIONAL element is used to display informational messages returned from the server. These are different to error messages in that the server call completes successfully. The messages are created in server side code using the SDEJ Informational Manager API (see the Cúram Server Developers Guide for more details). This API allows a developer to assign messages to an output list field(s). This field must then be referenced using child CONNECT elements. The message will be displayed at the top of the page in the same area as error messages and this may not be on the page on which the INFORMATIONAL element was defined. It could be on the following page or on the parent page in the case of modal dialogs. Finally, messages will never be displayed within the context panel of the application, but will instead will always be displayed within the main content area of the page.
