I'm trying to make django form defa error red and bold. For example, make "This field is required" red and bold. I saw error_css_class = 'error' but it's not working. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5//ref/forms/api/#django.forms.Form.error_css_class Thank you! This is my models.py
class RegiForm(forms.Form):
error_css_class = 'error'
DateInput = partial(forms.DateInput, {'class': 'datepicker'})
email = forms.EmailField(max_length=75)
first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=25)
last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=25)
address = forms.CharField(max_length=200)
This is my template:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>RegistrationForm</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Registration Form</h1>
<form action="/login/regi/" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Just add this CSS to change error message color:
.errorlist {
color: red;
}
or if you want to change field border color then
.error input, .error select {
border: 2px red solid;
}
I know this is an old question but I needed it as a beginner.
You can extend the ErrorList class in the
django.forms.utils
to style it as you wish. In my case I wanted it as divs and Bootstrap alerts.
So I did this in forms.py
class DivErrorList(ErrorList):
def __str__(self):
return self.as_divs()
def as_divs(self):
if not self:
return ''
return '<div class="errorlist">%s</div>' % ''.join(['<div class="error alert alert-danger mt-1">%s</div>' % e for e in self])
and in the views.py
form = AddToCartForm(error_class=DivErrorList)
see the documentaion: customizing-the-error-list-format
