And nested attributes. Gogo!

Support also form_tag with livevalidations and not only form_for

There has been a few reports of validates_format_of not working properly. Investigate, and fix.

Live-validations uses a self generated dom_id to id the html form. I would like to use my own custom form id and still keep the live-validations functionality

Live validations was not working on my freshly generated scaffolding.

It was not working because there are underscores in my form field names generated by rails but not in the javascript generated by the live_validations plugin.

Here is an example:

$('#new_sms_message').validate({"messages": {"smsmessage[number]": {"required": "can't be blank", "digits": "is not a number"}, "smsmessage[message]": {"required": "can't be blank"}}, "rules": {"smsmessage[number]": {"required": true, "minlength": 10, "digits": true}, "smsmessage[message]": {"required": true, "maxlength": 160}}})

// Manually corrected the javascript and it worked correctly:

 $('#new_sms_message').validate({"messages": {"sms_message[number]": {"required": "can't be blank", "digits": "is not a number"}, "sms_message[message]": {"required": "can't be blank"}}, "rules": {"sms_message[number]": {"required": true, "minlength": 10, "digits": true}, "sms_message[message]": {"required": true, "maxlength": 160}}})

I use a variety of validation, all working correctly.

Except validates_length_of, which does not display i18n translations of errors not even :message attribute of validation helper.

Always displays the message "Please enter at least X characters." . I need i18n OR ability to set own :message at least.

Validates_uniqueness_of works great when creating a new record but not when I attempt to edit data of an existing record.

Maybe there is something wrong on my end.

For example, I have a user and validate_uniqueness_of the email and username.

I allow the user the ability to change their email address (but still want to validate it's uniqueness)

Whenever I try to save the record I was editing, I get the "has already been taken" validation error (it's only taken by the current user). It gives this error even if I was changing other fields that are not validated. When I turn off live validations the regular rails validations work fine.

Also, I'm using validates_confirmation_of :password; and it is validating and showing the error "doesn't match confirmation" even though nothing was entered in the new_password field.

Is there any explanation of this behavior? Is live validations only meant to validate records before creation and not for editing? I have gotten around the issue by only validating my fields on create but I want to make sure the user's email is unique even when they are editing their account settings.

Thanks for any tips.
