Is it possible to detect the hint appeared suddenly from the IE page?

[Underdogger]

I signed in the page,but when I set the wrong PWD or ID.The web page could appear the Error on the page.Or sometimes, when I do something on the page,it would appear some tips to me..How can I detect that Error or tips on the page and then do something else.May someone prompt me to use what funtion in this issue?

Thanks so much

The same way you would look for any other DOM. I would intentionally fail, or produce the tip, and then use some developer tool/firebug. I like my signature, to grab objects by xpath, but the IE functions work also.
