Hi Matt, Assuming you refer to different error states like shown on http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#inputWarning , I think that this is a problem you cannot easily solve within Stripes. In contrast to JSF or other Java web frameworks, Stripes does not provide different validation states. The whole validation mechanism is based on just one implicit state: Error. Introduction of new states would require rewriting some core classes of Stripes.
In case that you "just" want to use the error class in the appropiate (outer) HTML tags, I think you will need custom JSP tags which allow you to render the HTML in a Bootstrap compatible way - including any needed error classes on the different HTML tags. Instead of <sd:text...> you could then use something like <bs:text...> which would render the outer div, label, input and span, depending on the error state of the input. But I fear that you will have a lot of implementation work as this affects all Stripes tags that can have an error state. Probably the easiest solution for the "outer div gets extra class" problem would be using JavaScript because it gives you full control over the whole DOM. Just render the whole block in a way that it is compatible with Bootstrap's CSS. After a form submit, just check any input fields for the existance of the error class and then modify the outer div class that belong to the input tag. I must admit that I would generally prefer a Stripes solution, but probably this is the fastest to implement solution which should solve the problem.
