title: Applying CSS to Text inputs with Classes
body: <p>I'm using jQuery validate on a form I am building and it is working great. What I want to do is when something is invalid to have the text field change colors and the error message to be white. I figured the following CSS would work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>label .error {color: white; font-weight: bold;}
  input .error {background-color: pink; border: 1px dashed red; color: white}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I test the validation the above CSS doesn't seem to apply. I checked using Firebug and the label and input area have the 'error' class applied.</p>
  
  <p>The CSS seems valid as when I leave off the .error clause everything looks like I want it too. What am I doing wrong?</p>
