Rails - Jun 2006 - problem with error_messages_for

Hi everyone,

I have this weird problem where error_messages_for isn''t working.

I have a model group which has to validates constraints..
---------------------------------
class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
	#directionality points to the user model
	#this table contains the foreign key
	belongs_to :user

	validates_uniqueness_of :name
	validates_presence_of :name

end

--------------------------------
In the controller I have a method which persists this group


def create_group
  ...
  if( group.save )
    logger.debug( "group save successful")
    flash[:notice] = ''Created group '' + group.name +
'' successfully''
  else
    logger.debug( "group save unsuccessful")
    flash[:notice] = ''Could not save group''
  end

  redirect_to :action=>"manage_friends"

end

in the manage_friends.rhtml i have the code...
------------
<!-- CREATE GROUP -->
<%= start_form_tag :controller=> "profile", :action=>
"create_group" %>

<div title="create group" id="creategroupform"
class="form">
  <%= error_messages_for (''group'') %><br/>

<b>Create Group:  </b><br>
  <%= text_field "group", "name", :size => 30
%><br/>

<input type="submit" value="Create Group &#187;"
class="primary" />
</div>
<%= end_form_tag %>

<!-- ADD FRIEND TO USER GROUP -->
<%= start_form_tag :controller=> "profile", :action=> 
"add_user_to_group" %>

-------------------

but no text gets generated from the <%= error_messages_for call.

I also tried the error_messages with (:group)

Any ideas anyone!?!?!

Thanks,
-dan
