hi, i chose the backpackit way to deal with a list of phones in my app....i hide a form that is displayed back when i click on ''add a phone''...then via ajax the form add the record to the database.....and then also by ajax add the record to the displayed list... but how can i send back to this form ''custom error message'' coming from the validation process? how can i have this form display "a phone have to be a number" ? thanks olivier hericord
