Yeah, no problem. This is a snippet I've used before. If there aren't
errors it just wraps a div around the label and input element. If
there are errors it appends a class of 'error' to the div.
{% for field in form %}
{% if field.errors %}
<div class="error">
{% else %}
<div>
{% endif %}
{% if field.field.required %}<span class="required">*</span>{% endif
%}
{{ field.label_tag }}{% if field.errors %} <span
class="error">— {{ field.errors|first|lower|striptags }}</
span>{% endif %}
{{ field }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
CSS just looks like:
.error label { ... }
.error input { ... }
