Message stack customization

Having the message stack at the top of the page doesn't work for one of my sites, so I moved it to the bottom of the header. I can't seem to style it though. I gather that tpl_message_stack_default.php is called by the messageStack class. As a test, I modified the code of this template like so:

<div <?php echo $output[$i]['params']; ?> class="BOOGIEMAN"><?php echo $output[$i]['text']; ?></div>

Now, when I run a CC test using a card I know will fail, I expect to see the message stack displayed and its code should show my class="BOOGIEMAN" as above, but this isn't what I get--the message stack has no DIV tags surrounding it at all.

So, which file actually generates the output for the message stack error on the checkout-payment page?

Perhaps the answer to this question will also answer this one: how to remove the leading dash before the message stack?

• Your card has been declined...

The dash is not in the payment module language file.

/*warnings, errors, messages*/
.messageStackWarning, .messageStackError, .messageStackSuccess, .messageStackCaution {
	line-height: 1.8em;
	padding: 0.2em;
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	}

.messageStackWarning, .messageStackError {
	background-color: #ff0000;
	color: #ffffff;
	}

.messageStackSuccess {
	background-color: #99FF99;
	color: #000000;
	}

.messageStackCaution {
	background-color: #FFFF66;
	color: #000000;
	}

The above classes style the messagestack.

Thanks Kim! However, I already have that in my CSS file--the styles don't appear though. I don't even see any message stack classes in the outputted page:

<!--eof-branding display-->

<!--eof-header logo and navigation display-->



<!--bof-header ezpage links-->
<!--eof-header ezpage links-->
</div>

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="contentMainWrapper">

I'm curious as to what template controls this so that I can take a closer look. Maybe this is actually generated by the PSiGate XML payment module...

Hhmmm, without seeing it in action it is difficult to tell, but it could be the module is not using the message stack correctly.
