How do you style a form input output using the form_input() function?
I have a class defined in my CSS file to style the inputs but everything I have tried has not worked.
Thanks

I'd like to add another question.
What is the correct way of utilizing the form_validation helper and setting up a 2 step form with validation.
Obviously i do not expect a full detailed explanation - rather i am looking for an idea of the setup in terms of what view files i need etc.
Thanks

For the form_input CSS issue, I would just add a class or an id and style it using those.

Thanks ... but I have tried that. I have the class defined in my css. My question is essentially how do i get form_input() to output class="myclass"?
Thanks

Set up your attributes and then echo them out, like this:
Code:
$property_type = array('class' => 'property_type', 'id' => 'property_type', 'name' => 'property_type');
echo form_input($property_type);form_input() How do you style this? - El Forum - 08-13-2010

Thank you.
It seems that by having an id and a class, I was overwriting the class.. well.. i dont know but either way it is working now.
