Anders Fjeldstad posted a neat JS shim on GitHub that adds in the ability to make CRM 2013 notifications in CRM 2011.

You can wrap it in a function that calls during your form’s CRM onLoad event.  That’s it!  Then you can make notifications appears easily:

Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification('This is an error',1,101); //Error (signified by the 1, with messageId 101)
Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification('This is a warning',2,102); //Warning (signified by the 2, with messageId 102)
Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification('This is informational',3,103); //Informational message (signified by the 3, with messageId 103)

Removing a notification is the same as in CRM 2013:

Xrm.Page.ui.clearFormNotification(101); //this clears messageId 101
Xrm.Page.ui.clearFormNotification(102); //this clears messageId 102
Xrm.Page.ui.clearFormNotification(103); //this clears messageId 103

Get it here on GitHub.

I found quite a gem today while browsing the Microsoft Developer blogs for help with debugging JavaScript in CRM 2011. It can be a pain to be updating JavaScript in Dynamics CRM 2011 without shelling out extra money for Visual Studio plug-ins to simplify it.  If you’re new to JavaScript in CRM 2011, this video from Marc Schweigert should help get you started with setting up Visual Studio to do the menial work of publishing web resources and debugging them.
