Show custom error messages on cart page

Hi in this article i will try to tell you all about how to show custom error messages or popups on cartpage

in the below folder
app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controllers/CartController.php

near about line 537 you will find code something like this

 else {
                    $this->_getSession()->addError(
                        $this->__('Coupon code "%s" is not valid.', Mage::helper('core')->htmlEscape($couponCode))
                    );
                }



which contains a error message for wrong coupon code apply

which i have change to

else {
                    $this->_getSession()->addError(
               
                        $this->__('Coupon code "%s" is not valid.', Mage::helper('core')->htmlEscape($couponCode))
                    );
                    $myValue = 'Hello World';
                   Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->setMyvalue($myValue);
                                              
                }


in this i have make use of magento sessions , i have set a session as setMyvalue
for the wrong code apply and than check the value of this in cart file

cart file path = under your theme /template/checkout/cart.phtm
i have retrieve the session value something like

 <?php $myValue=  Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getMyvalue(); ?> 
<?php if ($myValue!= ''){ ?>

<?php } else {?>
