If I'm using remote\_form\_for, how would I get the model validations to render just like on a non-ajax form?

This is a possible pattern: In the view you have a DIV for errors, originally empty, and perhaps factored out to a partial ready for RJS "reloading".

When the form is submitted there's a RJS response that updates that DIV if @model.errors.empty? \> 0, or else follows your regular application flow, for example it redirects to a show action with page.redirect\_to.
