1) Use a structure to store validation results.
2) Pass this struct back to firstpage incase there are errors
3) Write a css style for highlight say .error {color: red;}
3) Use conditional statement in your html tags to fire this class if the error
structure exists. Eg. Text1: <input type="text" name="txt1" <cfif
StructKeyExist(REQUEST, "stErrors")>class = "error"</cfif><br />
