Yeah, sorry, I meant the model attribute and meant model. I'm not sure how you would arrange the error messages in a specific order like that, but you can place them alongside each field.
http://guides.rails.info/activerecord_validations_callbacks.html#customizing-the-error-messages-html For example, in my app I use: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| if html_tag =~ /label for/ if instance.error_message.kind_of?(Array) %(<span class="validation-error">#{html_tag} #{instance.error_message.join(', and ')}.</span>) else %(<span class="validation-error">#{html_tag} #{instance.error_message}.</span>) end else %(#{html_tag}) end end (I realize that code isn't very neat - I wrote it a few months ago and it's worked fine, so I haven't touched it since.) And then my forms look like: <p> <b><%= f.label :name %></b><br /> <%= f.text_field :name, :size => 50 %> </p> <p> <b><%= f.label :email %></b><br /> <%= f.text_field :email, :size => 50 %> </p> <p> <b><%= f.label :password %></b><br /> <%= f.password_field :password, :size => 50 %> </p> And in my CSS file: span.validation-error{color:red} So, whenever the form is submitted and has errors, the labels are replaced with the error messages in red. So this: Email (email text field) becomes Email is too short, and does not look valid (email text field) Anyway, that's my solution, and I think it looks nice, but of course feel free to be creative. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
