I know have: <input class="<? if($error_msg){ echo "input.error"; } ELSE { echo "input.normal"; } id="firstname" name="firstname" type="text" value="{$_POST['firstname']}"? />" in the css: input.error { border: 2px inset red; margin:0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #036; width: 15em; padding-left: .25em; font-weight: bold; background: #eee; } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
