   <h2>Login error:</h2>
   Incorrect password or confirmation code entered. Please try again.
 </div>
  • WordPress, failed to enter required fields in comment
<p>Error: please fill the required fields (name, email).</p>
  • PayPal , trying to send negative dollars.
<div class="messageBox error">

 <ul><li>Please enter an amount greater than zero.</li></ul>
 </div>
