600739 - Show error messages in tweet reply box

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(support.mozilla.org :: Army of Awesome, task)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

We need to add two error messages for when a user clicks the submit button with an unexpected result. These messages should appear where the success message normally appears, they should be next to a red X instead of the green check mark.

1. Use case: Message contains more than 140 characters
- Error message: "Message is too long"
- Note: The tweet should not be sent if message is over 140 characters, so we must check for this before sending the tweet.

2. Use case: Message is not successfully sent via Twitter API
- Error message: "Sorry, an error occurred"

I haven't yet figured out how to test part 2; I've put:

127.0.0.1 *.twitter.com in my HOSTS file, and it still goes through.  Suggestions welcome.
