You want to set your comment variable in the controller: def new @comment = @post.comments.build end
so your form is <%= form_for([...@post, @comment]) do |f| %> <%= render"shared/error_messages", :target => @comment %> <% end %> If you build the comment in the form (which you shouldn't be doing anyways if you're sticking to MVC principles), then when you render the form, a new comment object is always created. Since it's a new object, it won't have any errors. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
