Rails - Nov 2006 - Scaffold Password Confirmation => no red border

Hi all,

i am using the normal rails error checking that comes with scaffold.
Now I a password_confirmation field in my form - which is not in my 
database

the confirmation checking works perfect and a text will be shown in the 
error box if the 2 password fields are not equal.
My problem is, that the border around the password_confirmation field 
will not get red - when the password_confirmation field throws an error.

any idea - what I can do?

thanks for any help
Andreas


my code:

<label for="user_password">Password:</label><br/>
<%= password_field ''user'', ''password'',{
:maxlength => ''16'', :size =>
''30'', :class => ''input'' } %>

<label for="user_password_confirmation">Confirm
Password:</label><br/>
<%= password_field ''user'',
''password_confirmation'', { :maxlength =>
''16'', :size => ''30'', :class =>
''input'' } %>

Do you have a css tag for scaffold in your layout?

View the html source of the generated html when an error is thrown and 
write down  "id" of the element that you want to color red and then
edit
your .css accordingly.

(If you are using the scaffolding generator then most likely the .css 
you are linking to is scaffold.css)

do you think it is a css problem? I dont think so.

when I look at my html output after an error in the field "password",
I
see this:

<label for="user_password">Password:</label>
<div class="fieldWithErrors">
<input class="input" id="user_password"
maxlength="16"
name="user[password]" size="30" type="password"
value="" />
</div>

<label for="user_password_confirmation">Confirm
Password:</label>
<input class="input" id="user_password_confirmation"
maxlength="16"
name="user[password_confirmation]" size="30"
type="password" value="" />

as you can see - rails did a div with the error box around my text field 
from the password - but not at the password_confirmation field.

I think, you should check your layouts *.rhtml file. In the header must
be the following code:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag ''scaffold'', :media =>
''all'' %>
(if you use scaffold.css)

If you use your owen .css -file, include following code:
.fieldWithErrors {
padding: 2px;
border: 2px solid red;
display: table;
}
(in to *.css file)

I''m having exactly the same problem

The link to the stylesheet is the layouts *.rhtml file and this:

 .fieldWithErrors {
padding: 2px;
border: 2px solid red;
display: table;
}
is included in the stylesheet

But the borders around the fields with erros won''t go red

This is excactly what I hate on rails, all answers are different - and 
none of them is working. You cant solve the problem - because I tap into 
fog right now on a so easy thing that was done in asp in seconds. but 
with the scaffold thing - I dont know whats going on in the background.

1) yes, I use the scaffhold css
2) yes, I inserted <%= stylesheet_link_tag ''scaffold'',
:media => ''all''
%>
3) the field that is not red - is a field that is not in the database - 
it is a password_confirmation field. the error text is correct and the 
confirmation works
<%= password_field ''user'',
''password_confirmation'', { :maxlength =>
''16'', :size => ''30'', :class =>
''input'' } %>
4) my css class ''input'' is ok - i use it on all other fields
too

You see, it work like this:
If you use built-in form helpers (e.g. text_field helper), they check if the 
model instance for which you render that field has errors, and if so, it will 
wrap the generated field HTML in DIV with some class (fieldWithErrors, but 
I''m not sure).

Then, the validates_confirmation_of is designed to add validation error for
the attribute itself, not it''s "_confirmation" brother (e.g.
for "password",
not for "password_confirmation").

So, when text_field for password_confirmation is produced, it find no errors
for that field, so no "red border" is displayed around that field.

The same problems I had long ago, when I designed validation for associated 
objects. E.g. Product should have a Category associated. I used to write
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :category
  validates_presence_of :category
end

In the product edit I used to create a select for category_id attribute which 
didn''t outlined this select if there was no category specified. The
right
solution was to do "validates_presence_of :category_id" (and then, if
you
wish to, do "validates_associated :category").

Solutions are:
1. Leave everything as it is. Actually, It could be a problem with password 
field, not with password_confirmation field.
2. Design new validation that will check if attributes are equal and add error 
to password_confirmation instead of password.
3. Design a custom text_field helper for "password_confirmation", that
will
check if "password" field has errors and outline itself then.
