Re: customizing error messages from form helper

You can change the class 'error-message' to whatever you want by
setting it in the options array of your $form->input call:

$form->input('field', array('error' => array('class' => 'custom-error-
class')));

Or you could take the automatic error out of the input div and put it
on its own where you have more control:

<?php echo $form->input('field', array('error' => false));?>
<div class="error-message'><?php echo $form->error('field', array
('class' => 'nested-div'));?></div>
