Rails - Jul 2006 - Ajax, RJS, and Standard Form Errors

Hi all,

I''m trying to take the standard scaffold and add a bit for ajax to it. 
I
have a two column page with the list on the left and the right side is
reserved for the create/edit actions.  On a successful save my rjs executes
and updates the list view on the left and returns the right side to a
"home"
page.  However, if one of the model validations fail I use rjs ro redisplay
the edit action on the left, which I''ve had to make a partial for the
rjs.
The problem is that the standard form error messages don''t show up.  I
think
they make be getting lost  with the rjs  since it''s not a redirect back
to
the edit action.

Any ideas on how to solve this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam

You need to send the error_messages_for back to the page.  If your using an
rjs template include something like

page.replace_html "some_div_to_display_errors" error_messages_for(
''some_object'')
