Since I have no experience Rails 2, I can't compare the two. However, it's pretty easy with Rails 3. You can override the default behavior like so:
ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| *** YOUR CODE HERE *** end The README that comes with the ActionPack gem has a more verbose explanation about this. (I just wish there was a way to tell it to add some kind of styling if a field validated properly!)
