can error_message_on display multiple errors?

Is there an easy way to make error_message_on display more than just one error message? I know I could create a custom form builder, but it looks complicated and I would rather learn that when I have more time.

for anyone else who might come across this, i found field_error_proc. you can over ride it and have it automatically add the errors, you can leave the error_message_on out of your code completely. you just add this code to an initializer.

i combined it with the second example to also stop rails from putting those annoying divs around the fields with errors, it makes much more sense to simply add a css class to the fields.

ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new {|html_tag, instance|   if instance.error_message.kind_of?(Array)     %(#{html_tag}<span class='validation-error'>&larr;# {instance.error_message.join(',')}</span>)   else     %(#{html_tag}<span class='validation-error'>&larr;# {instance.error_message}</span>)   end   }

ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance|   if html_tag =~ /<(input|label|textarea|select)/     error_class = 'error'     nodes = Hpricot(html_tag)     nodes.each_child { |node| node[:class] = node.classes.push (error_class).join(' ') unless !node.elem? || node[:type] == 'hidden'

node.classes.include?(error_class) }

    nodes.to_html   else     html_tag   end end
