I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

Hi all. I have an attribute, job_role_id_short, that is being set in a form. This field has a custom validation on it, which does this if it fails: self.errors.add(:job_role_id_short, "cannot be blank") I want to add the error onto the attribute, so that the form builder will wrap the field in a fieldWithErrors div. However, the error it generates says "Job Role Short cannot

Hi! The topic can be a bit misleading, because it may suggest that i want to change css style. What i''d like to change is that normally, when there''s an error, rails creates a div element with the fieldWithErrors class as the parent of the input. I''d like to change this behavior, so the input element itself will have this class added to its current classes and

Hi, I have following models class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :addresses, :as =>:addressee, :dependent => :destroy accepts_nested_attributes_for :addresses, :allow_destroy => true end class Address < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :addressee, :polymorphic => true validates_presence_of :address1, :maximum => 50,:message => "Address1 cannot be

H All, I have run into a very interesting issue. On one of my apps, after upgrading from 2.3 to 3.0, the form validation started to escape html. Normally what should happen when you submit a form and one of the fields fails validation that field would get surrounded with a <div class="fieldWithErrors"> and so on. That seems to be broken in my app and what I get is the correct html

Hi, i have some issues with the default rails error wrapping. It wraps errors in a div with class ''fieldsWithError'', which is not good practice in my eyes.

Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the

Howdy, I''m working on my first RoR project, and I want to build a form. The tricky thing is, this form needs to insert / update against two models, each with their own validation rules. Unfortunately, I''m having an incredible amount of difficulty with the error handling, specifically the fields wrapped in <div class=''fieldWithErrors''></div>

If a model doesn''t pass validation the field in the view is put under a <div class="field_with_errors">. But who create that div? field_text helper do it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to
