Yeah, I played a little with that CSS, but since it was inconsistent between 
different types of fields, and IIRC (yesterday is a blur at this point), that 
CSS is also used on the create ticket, I was hoping there was another solution 
or a bug in the modify html page that I was too blind to see that could be 
corrected. It was a long (and productive thanks to the awesome structure of RT) 
day of coding.

That makes sense, but it'd be nice if it rendered the comment in the validation 
regardless of whether it validated the regex. Or, as you suggest, show the CF 
description.

Thanks again!
