Any suggestions?[/quote]

So, you want to apply a class to the actual form input itself, if I understand correctly.

Not sure if this is the "correct" way to do it, but it will work..

Code:

<input type="text" name="name" id="name"<?php if(form_error('name') !== ''){ ?> class="error" <?php } ?>value="<?php echo set_value('name'); ?>" />

The trick is that form_error() will return a string if there is an error, or a null value if not, so we can test against that and set the class accordingly.
