Not exactly the font I wanted – I'm using @font-face for this site – but any of the default fonts will work for this kind of message. Thanks to both of you for your responses.

Here's the form: <a href="http://www.madrid-texas.com/eurodealcfds/apertura-cuenta-demo" rel="nofollow">http://www.madrid-texas.com/eurodealcfds/apertura-cuenta-demo</a> The site is in Spanish, but either way you'll see the validation message in the place it's supposed to show up… just much smaller, and with no styling on it. Let me know what I did wrong. Thanks!

It's easier to give you some guidance if we can see the issue first hand.

I wanted to modify the validation_error message which comes on submission when there's any data left or wrong in the form's fields. So I used the form_validation hook, and it worked. But now the message comes too tiny, totally unreadable. I tried to CSS target it so I could modify its appearance –basically make it bigger, but I can't get that to work. How could I do that? Thanks in advance.
