Actually, and this is definitely more appropriate to the rails forum, 
you should really have this in you user_helper.rb or 
application_helper.rb file and called it from the view.

e.g.

In the view:

<%= in_place_editor_field 'user','w_phone', 
check_red_style(@user.w_phone), :cols=>20%>


In the application_helper.rb file:

module ApplicationHelper
  def check_red_style(input,test=/Click to edit|Check format/)
    (input=~test) ? {:style=>'color:red'} : {}
  end
end

and then you can use whatever regular expression you want from the view 
(although check that you can have nested helpers, I don't think it's a 
problem, but I don't have a scratch rails area to test it on).
