So when the form kicks back an error in the event of unfilled questions, the system places the sg_Error class on the radio button and checkbox elements rather than the enclosing divs. This makes the class useless, because at least one major browser — Firefox — doesn't allow background colors on these elements.

I thought perhaps I'd changed something in my custom theme, but I incurred errors on some of the default themes to see how they handle errors, and surprise, surprise… they don't. Just a note at the top and a the same old form. Except for radio button matrices, for some reason. Farewell, useability.

Thoughts, anyone?

Hi.

We update our features before we update our templates. The older templates were designed before we added a lot of the new upgrades to SurveyGizmo.

Our error highlighting is not perfect, that's for sure. We will be upgrading it in version 2.

You can control what the error message tells respondents in case you want to think of something clever to tell them.
