Yuo're missing the point: I can do that in EGL just as easily.  I can do 
it client-side or server-side.   What I'm looking for here is a way to 
attach an "error style" to the widget definition so that when it fails 
validation it automatically (no coding required) changes the style.

JSF supports it on on the client-side validation, I just haven't figured 
out if it can be done on the server-side.

Let me reiterate: I can change the styles for any component of the page 
just as easily as in VB.  What I'm trying to do is add automation so 
that it occurs when the field fails validation.
