Form Error Styling Attempt

Code: Select all

if(strlen($fm_firstname)>0){
                $fm_firstname=stripslashes($fm_firstname);
        }else{//If no name was entered.
                $fm_firstname=NULL;
        include('./index.php');
                echo '<label for="fm_firstname" class="error">First name:</label>';
        }
The label element is echoed to the recalled index page, but, appears at the beginning of the html, I was hoping the echoed element would overwrite the current. What is my misunderstanding, and how is it corrected?

This is a clean version. The site is a one page, the user will be scrolled to the individual sections, via a dom script, hope this helps.

I'm going to guess the index.php file creates some variables or something and the output is done afterward in the script?

Simply plain xhtml/css.
I getting the feeling the index page and form have to be generated by php?

If you want to be able to change the contents of it, yes, in some fashion.

Hi,

Thanks, I'll break the form down into a php include, and carry on from there. I'll be in touch.
