The framed text was used long before computerization, in the books and other printed products. Although mainly the important text being framed, sometimes the notices and other secondary information also being.

In the development of web sites and web applications, the text framing has become more advanced and frequent.

• As in printed products, the frame is being used on the web sites with large amount of text for the accenting of specific fragments. To allow the visitor instantly estimate the level of importance, the color coding is being used. For the important block, the warm colors is being selected (red, orange, yellow), and for the secondary information the cold colors (blue, green) or achromatic (black or gray frame with white or light gray background). Additionally, the icons are frequently been used.
• In the GUI, the framed text has acquired the additional role by becoming to the tool for notifications of users. Unlike popup messages which are displaying for the short period of time, the framed text usually displaying constantly or until user will dismiss it by dedicated button (if it is). It also recommended to suggest the used to react to the message by adding of one or more buttons inside.

The framed text is being recommended for using in the following cases:

The displaying of retrieving of data from the server error

In this case it will be great to add the button for the initiating of new data retrieving attempt.

The displaying of message about absence of the data which could be shown

It is better to prepare the separate messages for case when there is no data satisfying to filtering and there is no data at whole. The suggested reaction will different too: in first case it will be the button for the resetting of the searching conditions, and in the second case it will be suggested to add some data (if it is allowed for current authenticated used).

The displaying of short guidances about usage of the website or web application

It is very important not only for new users of your product but only for the user with low lever of computer literacy computer literacy there are still a many of them.

The prompting of the user for the specific action

For example if in your website or application the authentication is optional, it is possible to suggest the sign up and explain which benefits the authorized uses have. Of course, in this case there are must be the links to the signing up page and, for the registered uses, to singing in page.

Напротив, в следующих случах рамка с текстом не является лучших выбором:

• Отображение ошибки при отправке данных
• Отображение сообщения об успешной отправке данных
• Отображение сообщения об успешном входе в систему или выходе из неё

Для этих сценариев гораздо лучше подходят всплывающие сообщения (в YDF это компонент Snackbar).
