ReportContextAttributeMessage does not highlight field

Question

Hi
I have a node named Params, and I have created the elements under that dynamically. One of the elements created dynamically is "Rating".
I need to check if the input field(created dynamically) mapped to "Rating" is null or not. if it is null, I need to report a message and highlight the field.
I have a validation helper class, that Im calling, with the method:
public static void raiseError(IWDMessageManager messageMgr, IWDMessage message, IWDNodeInfo node,
IWDNodeElement element, String fieldName, String fieldLabel)
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = node.getAttribute(fieldName);
messageMgr.reportContextAttributeMessage(element,attributeInfo,message,new Object[] {
     fieldLabel },true);
I have done everything thats necessary and am calling the validation class raise error with all the attributes as follows:
ValidationHelper.raiseError(messageMgr, IMessageEmployeeRating.MESSAGE,
wdContext.nodeParams().getNodeInfo(), wdContext.currentParamsElement(), "Rating"+i, "The rating
has not been entered");
The problem is that the message "The rating has not been entered" is displayed as expected, but the field is not highlighted or outlined red.
What could be wrong?
BTW, Im on EP 7.00 SP 13.
Thanks

Hi Manoj
Yes, the attributeinfo is for the same attribute im checking, and the element is the current element.
Im still not able to fugure out what the problem is.
There was a recent upgrade of patches in my system. Do you think this could have caused it? It was working prior to that. I searched for some docs or Notes on it, but found none.
Thanks.
