similar to: Changing default behavior of fieldWithErrors

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 =

Does anyone know how to override the <div class="fieldWithErrors"> behaviour when a form field is incorrect? Thanks, Dan

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, 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. Adding a class ''error'' to the field would be much nicer. My solution to the problem: build your own FormBuilder. Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the

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

Hi, I would like to ask how to override validation functionality in RoR? In active_record_helper.rb class there is "hardcoded" default html generated durning validation. If I will use {code:ruby} validates_presence_of :summary, :description {code} in my model class, there is html generated: {code:html} <div class="errorExplanation"

In my User form I have standard field to get user record attributes (first_name, last_name and email) I also have a select drop_down to choose a role from an array first_name, last_name and email are user record attributes, but I defined the role name as a virtual attribute validates_presence_of :email, :last_name attr_accessor :role_name validates_presence_of :role_name, :if =>

Hi, Camping 1.5.180 Ruby 1.8.6 It looks like Camping is choking on the ''rows'' attribute for input tags: input(:name => ''cuid'', :type => ''text'', :size => 10, :rows => 3) That will fail with: Markaby::InvalidXhtmlError no attribute `rows'' on input elements:

in testing my app I just use the validations validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :email validates_presence_of :academy, :message => "You must select an Academy" validates_presence_of :role, :message => "You must select a role" standard error_messages are fine for most of my fields , resulting in : 5 errors prohibited this data from being saved There

this is kinda trivial but I''m anal and it bugs me :) whenever there''s a error in the form the error field is wrapped with <div class="fieldWithErrors"> </div> this throws my form''s styling off because it puts too much space b/t fields and worse makes the form as wide as possible. How do I fix this? I''ve tried div.fieldWithErrors {

I''ve run across something that I''m not sure how to fix. This is with MSIE, Firefox doesn''t seem to have the same problem. When rails displays form fields in error using the css element fieldWithErrors, and the form field is enclosed in a table data tag, the entire background of the table data element is set to red instead of just the border of the form element.

Hi, What do I have to override in order to be able to have the error message of each field in front of the input field? I haven''t been able to find anything similar on google. All I''ve found is how to override the container around the input field. ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new { |html_tag, instance| "<span

I wrote the following code in my form view : <li><label for="email">Email</label> <%= form.text_field :email, :size => "30" %> <span id=''email_error'' class=\''warning-text warning-text-indent\''><%= @user.errors.on(:email) %></span></li> the generated html code is the following : <span

All, I want to know how to force an element of my model to be invalid, but not generate any message for it, so that the corresponding form field on a form will show up with the ''fieldWithErrors'' class. I have some checkboxes on my RHTML form, and they are generated with this code <%= check_box_tag("current_job[target_list_ids][]"...etc. %> target_list_ids

What conditions must be met for ''fieldWithErrors'' automatic wrapping? <% remote_form_for( :subscriber, :update => ''subscription'', :url => {:controller => ''subscribers'', :action => ''subscribe''} ) do |form| %> <p> <%= form.text_field

Hello all, I''m submitting a form with the following field - <%= p.text_field :postcode, {:class => ''inputMedium''} %> and on submitting the form I am getting this error - NameError in Property#create Showing app/views/property/sell.rhtml where line #52 raised: undefined local variable or method `fieldWithErrors'' for #<Object: 0x1de968>

Hi, (probably) A newbie questions: I have a form where a user can choose an email address, but there are only some choices for the domain, so I wrote a helper where the local part of the email is a text field and the domains is a dropdown list, like: Select Email: [ my_name ] @ <domain.com> ..which I defined as a helper: def email_form(tagname, domain_list)

Hi! I''ve got a form for creating news and i''d like to keep formatting of the text in the textarea - if user presses enter twice, or presses space ten times it should be visible when editing or showing the news. Probably i should add before_save filter and some regexps for adding html tags, but i know almost nothing about regexp. Maybe there''s a simpler way also.

Hi everybody, I needed change field error rendering for some forms created with Rail''s form builder. I found solution by changing ActionView::Base::field_error_ proc to own before form and changing it back after form rendered. I don''t like this solution :) It''s not thread-safe (but it''s not so important, nobody really wants it :), but I don''t like
