Question

I am using Twitter Bootstrap to style validation_errors for a registration page:

<?php
echo "<div class='alert alert-error span4'>";
echo validation_errors(); 
echo "</div>";
?>

The validations work and show up but part of the styling is always present (the div tag has a red background). Is there a way to have the styling show up ONLY when the validation_errors are present. I have tried a few things (embedding html in php tags and enclosing the php in div tags) but the result is the same.

You can try something like this it works for me.

<?php if(validation_errors()):?>
<div class='alert alert-error span4'><?php echo validation_errors(); ?></div>
<?php endif;?>
