It's a very annoy feature of websites that tell you one error at a time: "secret phrase cannot be blank" so you enter a phrase... "secret phrase must be longer than 6 characters" so you frown and make it longer "secret phrase can only contain alpha-numeric characters" so you growl and remove the punctuation and tweak the phrase "secret phrase must be no longer than 20 characters" you shop elsewhere.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
