Hi Jim, Ive modified the code for the form by adding the style info & vars to the relevant fields and set the var for the error style but for some reason the $error_var wont pick up the syle from $error_syle_var. Eg: $error_style = 'color: rgb(255,0,0)'; if(!$name){$err1 = $error_style; $error[]="*please enter your name\n";} $err1 does not pick up $error_style in the actual form and I just get style="" instead of style="color: rgb(255,0,0)". Im a tad baffled and im sure its something simple that im missing. Any ideas?
