I try to write validation for one of my components and show the validation error in a red box.
I have the following code in my xhtml:
<h:inputtext id="someText" value="..." validator="..." />
<h:message for="someText" styleClass="alert alert-error" />
That code validates the input text and shows an validation error if the input is invalid.
Problem is that the validation error shows up in a blue box.
Looking at it I found out that it is rendered as
<span class="portlet-msg-info" id="yui_patched_...">Some Validation Error Message</span>
I would have expected that the value I entered under styleClass goes into the class attribute of the span
I have tried different values for "styleClass" but it seems to ignore those.
I could use the style attribute but that would be a horror to maintain.
Has anybody an idea why it ignores the styleClass attribute?
How can I set the class attribute of the span?
