I have a model that includes the following: validates_presence_of :zipcode validates_numericality_of :zipcode, :plus4, :allow_nil=>true validates_length_of :zipcode, :is=>5, :allow_nil=>true validates_length_of :plus4, :is=>4, :allow_nil=>true
The allow_nils are just to prevent the reporting of the same error (say, a missing zipcode) multiple ways. The problem is that, when the user enters data into the form: <%= f.label :zipcode %>: <%= f.text_field :zipcode, :maxlength=>5 %>-<%= f.text_field :plus4, :maxlength=>4 %> the validation reports: Zipcode is the wrong length (should be 5 characters) even when the input *is* five digits (e.g. "99999"). What's going on here? -- "Oh, look: rocks!" -- Doctor Who, "Destiny of the Daleks" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
