Not able to find the xpath (css) for error message

[Gaurang shah]

Hi Guys, 

I am trying to test one of the field for field validation error message. The problem is I am not able to find the xpath or css of error message. I am not even able to search the string anywhere in the whole html page. 

Can someone help me identify this element.

Do not provide anything and press enter. 

I want to identify the xpath for field validation error message "Please enter an email address." 

Following won't work. because this text appears in javascript as well and will always be present. 

//*[contains(text(),'Please enter an email address.']

Gaurang,

I don't see the validation error message "Please enter an email address". 

I tried it on Chrome and Firefox. In both the cases, I only see the HTML5 validation error message which reads "Please fill out this field".
