though this discuss is a year old, it's amazingly useful to me at this time in 2012. And I can only say 'THANK YOU and GOD BLESS'

@lossendae and togi_one: the solution only works where there is some entry but a wrong type. Say, text where you should have numbers. I would like to have a situation where the red borderline is enabled when there is an error in that field, whether empty or taking a wrong value.

I tried [[+fi.error.first_name:then=` warning`]], that didn't help

What I do to output a "error" class:

<form>
...

<div class="formDiv formText [[!+fi.error.fSurname:notempty=`error`]]">
	<label for="foptSurname">Name</label>
	<input id="foptSurname"
		name="fSurname" 
		type="text" 
		value="[[!+fi.fSurname]]" />
	[[!+fi.error.fSurname]]
</div>

...
</form>

...and then style the class to your hearts content. Hope this helps, too.
