backgroundcolor om wrong captcha

Johang 26 Feb, 2011
I made a form with a catpcha. Everything is working perfect. The original captchafield has the same backgroundcolor as the rest of the form. But when I fill in a wrong captcha the background of the catcha field is nearly white. I removed in "frontform.css" on line 32 the color and now it is looking nice again. Why was this backgroundcolor set in "form error" ????

Hi johang,

Sorry, I have no idea what Max's thinking behind the CSS is.

Hi,

That color is applied to any field with some server validation error, actually the color is applied to the div container of the field, its a bit red or pink, looks nice on white background forms, didn't test it on others, could you please show us a screenshot for your form with and without the error ?

Max,

I had two problems with the bacgroundcolor
!. The fieldcolor is nearly the same as the backgroundcolor so its hard to see the field for filling in the captchacode.
2. Only the captchafield is getting the color. If I fill in a wrong emailadres, op popup window is showed that I have to fill in a correct emailadres.

The only thing I have left to indicate that something is wrong is the border of the catchafield.
The form is on http://www.jig-design.nl/test

Hi johang,

I think this is because your fields borders are the same color as the background color set for the error, you may either change your fields borders color to grey or something, or change the errors bg color
