Feelin' a bit guilty about monopolising the group (3 posts in 3 days) but my
question and it's solution could interest others.
Anyhow I am having great difficulty getting my head around the below code.
Basically I want to display the form and if the username textbox is then
submitted empty, I want the form redisplayed but this time textbox
background color to be red and not yellow.
The code is something I simply knocked up so I could see how I can use
stylesheet settings to highlight boxes (or anything really) which have
failed validation. I am just wondering if I have approached this from
completely the wrong angle? I used to create forms within the page itself
but specifically want to use templates now.
Be grateful if something could have a look and give me some pointers. I know
the code below is incorrect (that's the problem).
Cheers
Phil

Got it working. Damn obvious to use isSet, can't think why I did not think
of it before. Not exactly happy with the code but at least I can now think
how to do this more efficiently since it works.

What's all this mess all over the place?!
function getTextBox ()
{
return sprintf('<input type="text" name="%s" class="%s" />',
htmlentities($this->textboxName),
htmlentities($this->style)
);
}
Go and tidy your room Phil!

Hahaha... thanks Toby :-))
Actually I have recently seen %s but didn't understand it's useage. It was
used in QCodo framework
As for htmlentitities, that's something I've also seen but never really
investigated it's use. I shall wander over to the PHP manual and take a
look. I agree your solution is a much tidier than mine.
