I would like to have a red "Asterisk" show up near a field that does not meet the validation criteria. The error handling of CCS is hard to read when you have many validated fields that DO NOT meet the validation on a page and not sure where the real errors are occuring because you have read through the long error text at top.
If I can not do this easly, how can I change the color of the border of the validated field so it would trun red. I have some logic that I write to validate, if a check box is ENABLED, then the next textbox must contain text. If the check box is ENABLED and the textbox =null (=""), then I would like the textbox to turn red after validation, or turn an "Asterisk" red to show where the field is located.
Turning the textbox red would be OK for me since most of the validation for fields is done in custom code. I would like control that property when the page is re-rendered based on failure of validation.
Can the control of the textbox borders be done in .asp/VBScript through code? /mw

Just stick a Label control in where you want the asterisk to appear. Select
the {Label1} tag and assign a font color of red to it.
On the control that you want to validate, point it's Error Control property
to this label.
Set up the validation text to be "*" (or anything else you want).
Presumably the validation itself is already in place (if not enter an
expression for the validation, of just check the "required" Format property.
Now, when the field fails to validate, the label is set to an asterisk.
