Use CSS to change the background color and the text color.

Yup, I understand that, Michael. I've already done that, creating a class for error messages and a class for input fields in error. And on client-side validation, it's easy to define the class to apply to a field when an error occurs. The problem is that, using server-side validation, I haven't found the JSF keyword (if one exists) that will tell a field to use an alternate style if the field is in error.

I would have created one, but the JSF implementers didn't ask me... <grin>
