That works fine if your flash html is a simple div (as it is in the
standard layout), but it doesn't work so well if you're trying to do
more with it.
Gmail's flash display, for example, puts its flash message in a
rounded-corner box (generated via a table). You can do that too using
the technique you show, but you really need a wrapper function once
the html gets more complex than a simple div (or the like).
BTW, with this method, does the <div> end up getting escaped?
