I would like to inform the users about attribute validation conditions for form fields using title as in <span title= "cannot be blank" >.

Hi Facebookers, Is there a helper or suggested approach for presenting validation errors on an fbml form? Something to translate rails error markup to fbml:error markup? thanks Joel

ActiveRecord validation messages are currently not I18N-friendly. Specifically, I''m referring to the fact that it enforces a certain grammar, namely the beginning of the message must consist of the field name.

Hello fellow Rails devs, I had a slight problem with validation messages. I had a Post AR model that has an :author_name attribute.

I am trying to figure out how to customize the error messages when I use validates_presence_of.

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page.
