validation

Hi, all.

In most web projects, we do both client-side and server-side form validation.

A major part of form validation is error prompt,

the client-side and server-side form validation library probably have implemented this for us,

but the error prompt looks different.

How can I design a consistent error prompt for such a system?

Thanks in advance.
