Is it possible to have the message for the required fields shown with a red font??

Now it is; This is a required field.

But i would like to have; This is a required field.


Is it possible? If so, how do i have to do this???

Hi leo,

Look at the class that's set for the messages and change your css to do whatever you like with it.

Do you mean the css of the template?? 😟

I'm a newbie with code and don't know how to do this. Is it possible to ad some code in the javascript file validation.js to have the same result??

Hi Leo,

First I suggest you get FireFox as this will make your mission easier, now view the page source (right click the page then View Source), now check the validated fields HTML tags, you will find that they have some classes, something like class="whatever", now at your template css add new line at the end like this :

.whatever{
color:#ff0000;
}

That should do it, please search the forum for "validation css", there are manyyy posts about this before🙂

Cheers,

Max

Hi leo,

The validation Javascript generates the error message like this

<div id="advice-required-name" class="validation-advice" style="opacity: 0.999999;">This is a required field.</div>

You can format this by creating css for the 'validation-advice' class. Here's an example

<style type="text/css" >
div.validation-advice {
  font-weight:bold; 
  font-style:italic;
  color:red; 
}
</style>

Put this at the beginning of you Form HTML and it should do what you want.

Oke thank you so far!!

I put the style type in the first line of the form.
But where do i have to put;
<div id="advice-required-name" class="validation-advice" style="opacity: 0.999999;">This is a required field.</div>

Is this in validation.js?

Perhaps you can tell me in what file and on what line?
I don't see a div in the validation.js file.

Hi leo,

You don't put it anywhere - it's the code that ChronoForms and the validation script already create. Look at the source code for your form.

Bob

:) Thank you!!! My problem is solved!!! 🙂

is this also possible with a popup or lightbox?

Hi raimond,

Probably but I wouldn't have a first idea how to go about it.

You might find some clues in the Dexagogo Google group - that's the group for the Really Easy Form Validation code that ChronoForms uses.
