Instead of trolling how about you re-read what I wrote. A message is data - how that message is presented is not. An error message or a string of text is a great deal less than the html / javascript / css used to display that message.
Putting data into a model whether it maps to a field in a table or not is the CORRECT implementation of an MVC pattern. Use the view to output said data and to format and mark it up how you would like. Abba stefanb-3 wrote: > > > So you're saying I should put HTML and javascript code in my model > too.
