Hi Mike,

Currently, Expresso doesn't have a 'good' way of doing what you want.  You 
can take a look at how I did it for the 'Registration' page, but it 
basically meant setting attributes, and applying the appropriate stylesheet 
class to fields with errors vs fields that are ok.

 From what I can see Java Server Faces takes on this functionality quite 
thoroughly, and thus, I'm kind of waiting to see how that gels out before 
taking it on. [OF course, if anybody has a good solution for the now, it is 
always appreciated! :) ]
