[CLOSED] HTML composer handling errors

Hi,

I am attempting to create a few pages using HTML composer and I am trying to figure out how to handle error cases.
From time to time a session can become invalid (timeout or they have bookmarked a link and attempted to use it without going through single sign-on).
Another cases is that the user may not have access to the fex they are calling.

The behavior in these two cases are somewhat different in the first I would like the user to be taken to the login screen while in the second I need a pop-up window with a message.
However, I can't seem to distinguish these cases from the javascript perspective.
When I inspect the elements in both cases the elements aren't populated in the onInitialUpdate function.

Is there a way to distinguish between these cases?
BTW, in both cases we will prob be returning HTML, code is below.
