here is my controller

Code:

        $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
        $this->load->library('form_validation');
            
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required');
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required');
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('passconf', 'Password Confirmation', 'required');
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'trim|required|valid_email');
                    
        if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE){
            $html['page'] = 'wishlist/signup';                
            $this->load->view('template_wishlist',$html);
        }
        else{
            $html['page'] = 'wishlist/signup';                
            $this->load->view('template_wishlist',$html);        
        }    

    }

this will display message which is no problem

Code:

<div style="width: 340px" align="center">
    &lt;?php
       echo validation_errors('<div class="error">', '</div>');
    ?&gt;
</div>

in my view to apply my css

Code:

<input name="username" type="text" class="highlight5" id="username" size="30" class="<?php echo (form_error('username') == '') ? '': 'highlight-field';?>"/>

What you're doing should work, except you already have a class attribute in your input tag. Try this instead:

Code:

<input name="username" type="text" id="username" size="30" class="highlight5<?php echo (form_error('username') == '') ? '': ' highlight-field';?>"/>

hi slowgary,

I didn't notice that I have already declared a class.

Thank you so much
