Hi folks,
         Can anyone tell me how to get the custom error message(red color) in visualforce after disabling the show header and standard stylesheet?

Below is my VFP for getting Custom Error Message
<apex:page standardController="Contact" standardStylesheets="false" showHeader="false"  >

<apex:pageBlock >
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageMessages ></apex:pageMessages>
        <apex:inputField value="{!contact.lastname}" html-placeholder="Enter Your Last Name"/>
        <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Submit"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>


But the page gives lafter clicking submit button 

User-added image


But I want to display error message in red color.

For that what I have to do?


Thanks in advance
Karthick

Hi Karthick,

It seems that you have to deal with HTML pass-through attributes which are supported by apex:messages.
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/

I've not tried but it looks to be a solution.
Otherwise, maybe using a custom controller...

Let us know what's appens.

That's HTML pass-through.
Works fine.
