Re: [phpesp-general] Survey: Domain Recording, Required Fields

[James E. F. <jf...@uv...>]

Hmm, I thought the message was in red, I guess it depends on the CSS 
file (style) you're using.  You can change the content (add numbers) of 
the error message in the response_check_required() method in the 
espresponse.inc library file.  You can change the presentation 
(red/bold) of the message in the CSS file you are using via the 
'message' class (or just switch stylesheets).

Perhaps you should enter a "feature request" on the sourceforge tracker 
for phpESP, suggesting that the 'message' class in the default 
stylesheet use a more prominent style. (M. Gregg, want to tweak 
default.css?)
