Have you considered wrapping <jdoc:include type="message" /> in a PHP conditional so that <div id="system-message-container"> isn't always displayed?

I don't know, if I understand it right, but I mention in the comments.

@betweenbrain

Sorry. I just realized that part of my comment was not being displayed due the way markdown syntax is rendered. I have revised it.

For example, with Construct I define $messageQueue = $app->getMessageQueue(); and then display the message with
<?php if (!empty($messageQueue)) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="message" />
<?php endif ?>

You can see it at https://github.com/construct-framework/construct5/blob/master/elements/logic.php#L20 and at https://github.com/construct-framework/construct5/blob/master/index.php#L270

Great! Thank you. I will implement your code, if it is okay for you.

@betweenbrain
Copy link

Yes. By all means, feel free to implement it. I also need to mention that I have defined $app = JFactory::getApplication(); since $messageQueue uses $app.

Hope that helps!

The conditional system message div
getMessageQueue)) : ?>

has to be
getMessageQueue())) : ?>
I think.

Or
getMessageQueue())) : ?>
