All resolved and thanx for the responses. The issue (as is usually the case) was my nimble fingers weren't quite so nimble--maybe a little too fat; so incorrectly modifying the code was at the base of the issue.

Any changes in the css file have produced no changes in the php file, so the above code I placed in the php file. (The css file came with the captcha javascript that I've modified, so it's not like I've written any errors into it, just changed the file names--but maybe so.)The addValidation() is the returned string of the error (of not entering a name in the form). The php file and its corresponding css file came from www.html-form-guide.com's 'contact form with captcha'.

Hope I'm in the right forum, I'm having issues with a captcha error printing its message in color.I have tried too many lines of code in php, xhtml and css and this code within javascript was my final attempt; document.write(frmvalidator.addValidation("name","req","Enter your name").fontcolor("red")); but nothing I've tried will change the message color. Please tell me what I have wrong (or point me in the right direction).
