Re: Error Placement / Styles

Well, now that I took a better look at your code, I don't understand
why you don't use the standard cake form field and error generation,
because that should be all you need :)

Example HTML from my own code where the field has an error - it is
mandatory:

[code]
print( $form->input( 'Reporter.email', array('label' => __
('visitors_email',true), 'class' => 'email', 'error' => array
('report_email_rule' => __('report_email_rule',true) ) ) ) );
[/code]

produces the following HTML when I don't enter an e-mail address!

[code]
<div class="input text error">
<label for="ReporterEmail">E-mail</label>
<input name="data[Reporter][email]" type="text" class="email form-
error" maxlength="128" value="" id="ReporterEmail" />
<div class="error-message"
report_email_rule="report_email_rule">reporter_email_rule</div>
</div>
[/code]

Observe that the form helper has automatically inserted the error
class in the div element!
Enjoy,
John
