Hi all, What is the easiest way to trim all input fields before validation. Also on error the field should show the trimed version of the data. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks Greg,
Is there anyway to change this to something better ?
require "#{ RAILS_ROOT }/app/models/trimmer"
is there any way to move it to plugin or helper or somewhere else and
load it in a better way .. thanks ..

Seemed like a model-like thing so I put it in with the models. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
