Validation Class --> error message - El Forum - 12-02-2008

Hello,
On this page I want to give the input fields that are not correct an
extra class (.red) instead of a whole message.
What is the best way to do this since the validation class doesn't give that option.
Thx,
hsl

Why do it manually? There are javascript libraries that can do the work for you like dojo. I know they have the feature you need.

Good day..

Hey,
As Rey mentioned it's better to do it by Javascript.
But if you want to have both working exactly the same you can something like this :
Code:
<input type='text' value='<?PHP echo set_value('username'); ?>' class='<?PHP echo (isset(form_error('username') && form_error('username') != '')?'normal_css_class_name':'red_css_class_name' ) ?>' />I have not tried it yet, but it gives you the idea.
Take care,

Thx!
The javascript suggestion was one I didn't think of.
I'm implementing jquery right now. but i'm only going to use it for checking.

Yeah, it's good to have Javascript validation all the time.
But always have the server-side equivalent too, just in case.
Passing the javascript validation is not that much hard
