Web design theory calls for a website to appear seamless to every user. The problem, of course, is that every user’s different.

If used properly, alert messages guide a user to make the proper descicions on your site. Let it be the purchasing of a product or the task of enabling Javascript for full functionality. The problem is that most "styled" messages cause validation errors.
