Please help
When you say it is not working, what exactly is not working? Two things should happen if the validate fails, firstly the record should not get saved to the database and secondly an error message should be made available. You have said that you are seeing no message but is the record getting saved or not? How are you showing the error message? An error here could be the explanation for not seeing the message. Have you tried using ruby-debug to break into your controller and see what is happening when you submit? If you do not know how to do this have a look at the rails guide on debugging at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/.
