Error and tip information text messaging

摘要

A method and system are provided for supplying error information and tip information in an accessible and non-interruptive manner by displaying both the error information and the tip information as static text or markers next to a data field into which the user is inputting text. Presentation of the tip information is provided when the user focuses on a given data field. If an error is detected in the data entered by the user, an error marker is placed next to the data field containing the erroneous data. Once the user refocuses on the erroneous field, tip information is once again displayed to assist the user in properly completing the field. The tip information displayed to the user after an error is detected may be tailored to fit the error.
