my question is can i some how make this so it has a red box around the errors and have them bullet-ed using <ui> some how?

I assume you mean ul and not ui?

Anyways, in css you can use this.

Code:

ul li
{
    border:  1px solid red;
}

Or assign it something like

Code:

#errors_css
{
    border: 1px soild red;
}

[code]
<ul>
<li id="errors_css">&lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;</li>
</ul>

read this: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...delimiters

you change the delimeters and do it like this:

Controller

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<li>', '</li>');

View

Code:

<ul class="error">
    &lt;?php echo validation_errors() ?&gt;
</ul>
