You'll need to write a custom validation, I think, if you want to highlight more than 1 field for a given condition.
if end_time < start_time errors.add :start_time, 'your message here' errors.add :start_time, 'your message here' end What I have never tried is to hightlight a field without a message so, in your case, having a unique error message (and no extra empty lines in the messages section) but 2 fields highlighted at the same time.
