Question

I’m new in rails 3. I’m using bootstrap and i want to display the validation errors next to the invalid field.

here is the code

<div class="control-group <%= @pet.errors.has_key?(:nick) ? "error": "" %>">
        <%= f.label :nick, :class => 'control-label' %>
        <div class="controls">
            <%= f.text_field :nick, :class => 'text_field' %>
            <% unless !@pet.errors.has_key?(:nick)%>
            <span class="help-inline"><%= @pet.errors[:nick]%></span>
            <%end%>
        </div>
    </div>

my problem is that <%= @pet.errors[:nick]%>returns

["no puede estar en blanco"]

and must be just

no puede estar en blanco

here you have an image

is there any way i can get the error message without the square brackets and the quotation marks?

Thanks in advance

You could try:

<span class="help-inline"><%= @pet.errors[:nick].join(", ")%></span>
