Rails - Aug 2005 - data validation

I''m trying validate date before they''re stored into the DB,
but it seems,
validation doesn''t work..

my model looks like this:
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
	has_many 	:contacts,
			:foreign_key =>''company_id''
	has_and_belongs_to_many	:categories, :join_table =>
''company_to_category'',
			        :foreign_key => ''company_id'',
				:association_foreign_key => ''category_id''
	validates_presence_of		:name
	validates_uniqueness_of 	:name
        validates_lenght_of       :name, :maximum => "20" ,:message
=> "too long"
end

The presence_of and the uniqueness_of work fine, but it doesn''t throw
any error
when the name atribute is longer than 20..

Is there any problem with it? Can I combine validate rules however I want to, or
it has some rules too..?

thanks

Can it be you mispelled "validates_lenght_of"?
