hi there, only way i know for achieving this is to extend struts' tags and either override the getStyleClass() method or add a new property getErrorStyleClass().
if you search archives on this list, http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg96068.html Niall suggested a few days back about his ErrorTextTag or TextErrorTag that basically overrides the getStyleClass() method. That in my opinion is the easiest way to go about this change. he also did point In one of my recent projects, I had to add errorStyleClass property to about 4 struts tags, and it is not pretty! I think BaseHandlerTag in struts need some real refactoring! hope this helps.

I tought about something like this: <html:text property="test" styleClass="normal_class" styleClassOnError="error_class"/> So, if I return an ActionError about the property test, the style class to use would be error_class, otherwise, normal_class. I know this doesn't exist in Struts but is there something that can do something like this?

An easy way of layering this on is to define a compulsory array of fields and then loop through the form on validation. changing the borderColor style attribute when you have a match between the element name and your array. compulsary = ["name","email"]; function validate(form) { for(i = 0;i < compulsary.length;i++) { field = compulsary[i]; value = form.elements[field].value; if(value == "") { form.elements[field].style.borderColor = "#ff0000"; } } } Then you can think about having your compulsary array populated in the same way as the struts validator client-side stuff. In fact you could use the array then it defines.
