Displaying message to user
In client script I use a simple alert(), however I now need to display some messages from Server Scripts and am not sure how to accomplish this. Let's say a user clicks the "Authorize Return" button from a sales order (which creates a return authorization) - I have a user events script that will determine if the transaction is valid for a return and if not, I want to display a message (html page) with an explanation why it's not valid and possible links to other information.
So, short question: How to display custom messages to the user from a SSS?
