also, I want the field to appear hilighted when there is no
information so I am doing this:
<input class="<? if($error_msg){ echo "error"; } ELSE { echo
"normal"; } id="firstname" name="firstname" type="text"
value="{$_POST['firstname']}"? />"
I think the quote mark balancing is messed up here...
<input class="
this starts a quote for the class=
There appears to be no ending quote for that...

adding the input.error didn't solve the problem dang it.! If there is
a ending quote missing, I don't see it right off hand.
I know have:
<input class="<? if($error_msg){ echo "input.error"; } ELSE { echo
"input.normal"; } id="firstname" name="firstname" type="text"
value="{$_POST['firstname']}"? />"
Shouldn't you jsut be echoing "error" or "normal" . A period isn't
allowed in a class dafinition, and the css will work for all elements of
type input with a class of error. Also you don't seem to be closing the
PHP tag at the right place
This is how I would do what it looks like you're trying to do.
<input class="<?php echo !empty($error_msg)?'error':'normal'?>" id="firstname" name="firstname"
type="text" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['firstname'])?>" />

in the css:
input.error {
border: 2px inset red;
margin:0;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #036;
width: 15em;
padding-left: .25em;
font-weight: bold;
background: #eee;
}
