Styling a form

Read first Task 35

Inputs need a label, a border, 44px height and an error state that is not colour alone.

Definition and example

Styling a form is the focus of this lesson. Inputs need a label, a border, 44px height and an error state that is not colour alone. The task asks you to apply that idea in a small example: What should accompany a red error border. Before you run the code, predict what should happen. Then Inspect the rendered page and its element structure and compare it with your prediction. If the result differs, change one relevant line and run it again. Testing one change at a time makes the cause of a result easier to understand.
