Question

I am using Django’s modelform and its really good. How can I highlight the actual text box (e.g. border:red ) if there is a validation error associated with it. Basically what i want is to add a class (error) if there is a validation error to a field.

What about defining error_css_class?

class MyForm(ModelForm):
    error_css_class = 'error'
