I'm using the CreateUserWizard Web Server Control
The error message when the passwords do not match is colored red.
Red does not show well against my background so I like to change that color.

I only find 3 color settings:
BackColor, BorderColor, and ForeColor.

I the first two are evidently not what I need.
I tried forecolor and it simply changed all the text but not the error
message (as you would expect, but I tried anyway).

Do you know how to change the error message's color?


Thanks

I seem to recall it uses the 'alert' CSS style. If you set up a page with a
validator set to displayStyle="static" then you should be bale to use
view-source to see the style of the span containing the error message.

I've been reading Help and searching the internet in an attempt to
understand your reply without results.

1) I looked at the alert method and the alert message box but they do not
advertize a css style. Are there some styles that are built-in and used by
these controls? Guess I dont knoe what "'alert' CSS style" means.

2) I list the view-source that resulted from the CreateUserWizard below. The
important line is:

<span
id="ctl00_MainMasterDataRightID_CreateUserWizard1_ CreateUserStepContainer_EmailRegExp"
style="color:Red;display:none;">The email format is invalid.</span></td>

I see the "color:Red" but if I apply that to the asp.CreateUserWizard all
the text is red.


3)I did not do with a validator set to displayStyle="static"
because I did not know how to nor could I find documentation.

Thanks for replying

I believe that if you convert the control to a template, select the

Customize Create User Step

You can select the color for the literal that displays the error
messages.

Good luck,

Jason.

Jason's response was right, we had used a template and assigned a CSS class
named 'alert' which had the same properties as the inline style, i.e. color:
red.

Thanks,

I'll look into that.
