search for: length_in_inch

...fields to populate @rect.errors so that we can present all input errors together to the user in the view. The best approach I could come up with was to delay the conversion to cubits from length=() until the validate() method, although this required using an instance variable to temporarily store @length_in_inches. The advantage of this approach is that errors are no longer raised from length=(). Has anyone found a better approach to this problem? Thanks in advance. Dan
