Form Validation Using Form Helper

[eluser]Ivar89[/eluser]
I don't really see the fault but wouldn't this eb WAY easier?:

Code:

<label id="message">Message:</label>
&lt;input type="text" name="message" id="message" value="&lt;?php echo set_value('message') ?&gt;" style="width:153px"&gt;

also you could define the Label in your fomr_validation array:

Code:

$config_rules = array(
               array(
                     'field'   => 'message',
                     'label' => 'Message',
                     'rules'   => 'trim|required'
                  ),
