Changing colour of validator error messages

Helen

I'm having trouble changing the text colour of the validators I'm
using on a webform.

I want the styling to be done using a CSS class that is attached to
the table cell that my validators live in, but this is overriden by
the inline style that is being output by default.

This is what I've tried to override the style so far:
<asp:requiredfi eldvalidator id="YesNoValida tor" runat="server"
errormessage="T his field is required" controltovalida te="YesNoList"
display="dynami c">This field is required</asp:requiredfie ldvalidator>

<asp:requiredfi eldvalidator id="YesNoValida tor" runat="server"
errormessage="T his field is required" controltovalida te="YesNoList"
display="dynami c" cssClass="valid ator">This field is
required</asp:requiredfie ldvalidator>

<asp:requiredfi eldvalidator id="YesNoValida tor" runat="server"
errormessage="T his field is required" controltovalida te="YesNoList"
display="dynami c" style="">This field is
required</asp:requiredfie ldvalidator>

use ' ForeColor=" " CssClass="<your style class>" ' in your validator.
By using a space for the color you override the default red color.

Local server HTML validator

by: Torbjørn Pettersen | last post by:

As you might have noticed I'm trying to clean up my web site's HTML code. The way I do it is simply more or less redoing to complete site, testing it on a web server I have set up on my local network. I have downloaded, and installed CSE HTML Validator Pro, but I don't get the same results with that as I do with the online validator on W3.org. And I can't upload files to W3.org either, due to all the ASP code I use.

RequiredFieldValidator - changing font color of label?

by: Ed West | last post by:

Hello, I have a simple form with some input boxes. After validation if one fails, then I would like to at the top of the page say something like "The following fields in red are required" and then change the label in front of the textbox or dropdown list to red... is this possible with asp.net? It seems you can only put a RequiredFieldValidator on the page, and if it fails validation then that text is displayed... ? Thanks

Validator messages

by: tshad | last post by:

I have a page that is very long so I have set it up to page using <div> to display or hide the different pages. When I get to the last page the user submits the page. This works great, except that if one of the validators finds an error and it isn't on the last page, the user won't see it. What I want to do is know that there is an error on the 2nd page and make that page visible (which would show the validator error message) and the...

Why is ASP.NET changing character encoding of documents?

by: John Dalberg | last post by:

The below html validates correctly on w3.org's html validator when the file has an html extension. When the same file gets an aspx extension, I get the error below from the validator. This tells me that ASP.NET is changing the character encoding in the http header. How can this be corrected so that aspx pages validate correctly?

Validator message display

by: Paul | last post by:

Hi all, I want to use the same wrapper table and header text for all validator error messages. The validator controls don't appear to supply an easy method for using tags and formatting. What would be the easiest way to use the same table formatting for the error messages without a great deal of code repetition - subclass the validator controls and override a render method? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
