Nice effects! Though the red X icon looked like a delete button to me, making me think: can I delete & remove this form field?

Yeah, I wanted a cross, but couldn't find one in the famfamfam icons. I originally had a no entry sign, but that felt totally wrong.

Ah, you're right, they don't. Hmm. They have a + inside of a circle (labeled "Add"). There's also a check mark inside of a circle (labeled "Accept"). I suppose you could consider those.

Or even having no icon at first. Then the red icon (or a red cross, labeled "Cross") appears if the field data is invalid.

Just my $0.02. Very cool effect though. I dig how it works when I tab into each field too.
