Description Corey 2013-01-15 00:51:52 UTC
When someone is attempting to check out an invalid item (such as 'asdf'), a message is soon generated which tells the Administrator/Librarian that the item doesn't exist. 

Although it might be simple to find and understand for normal computer users, those whom are Visually Impaired are forced with the daunting task of finding the error message, which is found after around 100 lines of code later; this is also not a heading (making it not obvious).

QA Comment:
Corey, first thanks for sending a patch!
But when aiming for consistency, putting one message into a <h3> and many other messages like this on several forms not, might not be the best idea.
Another thought here: If the visually impaired benefit from this, could we make a Koha syspref for a start. And work through all messages on a form basis? Just an idea..
Also note that I had the bullet now on line 1 and the words on line 2. Smaller laptop screen..

Bug 9387 - Feedback message for FAILED check out items are not obvious for visually impaired

This patch adds a heading to the error dialg displayed when a barcode
has been submitted for checkout which doesn't exist. This patch also
modifies the markup of the error dialog in order to make error a little
more clear to sighted users.

To test, apply the patch and submit a barcode for checkout which does
not exist. The resulting error dialog should have a heading, "Barcode
not found."
