Hi, first time poster. I am working my way through this book chapter by chapter and must say it is well written and straight forward enough for a newbie like me to follow, thank you.

The problem i have is that when running the sell page and posting empty fields the reporting error messages are not displaying in red. I have checked the code several times and can not for the life of me see anyting wrong.

Section from StyleSheet.css
*/
legend{
color: #84a24a;
font-size: 1.3em;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: "Arial Narrow";
}

.field-validation-error, .validation-summary-errors{
color: red;
}
Your help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Hi there,

That looks fine to me too. I can think of two reasons why it doesn't work:

1. The browser is using an old version of the CSS file. Try Ctrl+F5 on the page with the errors to force a fresh copy.
2. Your CSS is somehow broken (maybe because of the closing comment tag? Does it have an opening part as well?)
