Template:

    `<div id="messageBox_{{ forloop.counter0 }}" style="border:1px solid #ccc;background-color:white" onclick="document.getElementById ('messageBox_{{ forloop.counter0 }}').style.display = 'none';">
        {% ifstartswith message "#ok#" %}
        <font color="green">
        {% endifstartswith %}

        {% ifstartswith message "#error#" %}
        <font color="red">
        {% endifstartswith %}
        {{ message|cut:"#ok#"|cut:"#error#" }}
        </font>
    </div>`

In a view you can now do something like that: request.user.message_set.create(message="#ok#Hello User, this is a ok message!")

dnordberg (on June 16, 2008):

Better to do something like this instead:

@register.filter
def startswith(value, arg):
    """Usage, {% if value|starts_with:"arg" %}"""
    return value.startswith(arg)
