I have a model, Work, that when I create a new instance with
incorrect

action, causing runtime errors.
I dont understand why update validates correctly and create doesn't.
Validation lines in the model are as follows:
validates :start, :presence => { :message => "must be a valid date/
time" }
validates :end, :presence => {:message => "must be a valid date/
time"}
validate :start_must_be_before_end_time
def start_must_be_before_end_time
errors.add(:start, "must be before end time") unless
self.start < self.end
end
Any pointers would be great.
