Formatting validation errors

Hi

Where would I find the css that controls the postion of the text that appears when the user fails to enter something into a validating field?

Thanks

Hi maxelcat,

I'm not sure that there is any - add some css for the .validation-advice {. . .} selector

Bob

ok - thanks

Hi

Tried adding that selector to the IE7, IE6 and general style sheets - didn't make any difference - am I editing the wrong file???

THanks

Hi maxelcat,

Should be OK, what are you putting in there?

Bob

PS FireFox with the FireBug extension will let you see exactly what you need to change.

Hi - thanks again - ah yes, firebug!

Using firegbug i found this:

<div id="advice-required-text_3" class="validation-advice" style="display: block; visibility: visible; opacity: 1;">This is a required field.</div>

and I added to my css

	
.validation-advice	{
	color:#FF0000;
	font-size:36px;
	font-weight:bold;
	}

and it made no difference - which is odd, becuase I would have thought that it would - even thought there is some inline styles, there is nothing within said inline styles that should overrise what I added?

Hi maxelcat,

I agree, it should work, sometimes you can get funny interactions with css files. Is the form on-line so I can take a look?
