As Euromark suggested, you should be using $form->input(). You can
really customize how you want $form->input to return output now. You
can turn labels off with $form->input('Model.field', array('label' =>
false));
If you insist on using those form helper elements you'll need to use
$form->error('Model.field') to output the error message. Here is the
API for $form->error():
http://api.cakephp.org/class/form-helper#method-FormHelpererror
Hope that helps,
Nick
