Validation Errors

Hi Railers,

I have put a simple validation

validates_length_of :subject, :maximum => 10, :message => "pick a shorter subject"

If i have more than 10 characters in subject, the message is not being sent; but on the contrary, when i click on send button it says message sent successfully(a custom message written in Controller) , but in reality it is not getting sent. Why my message pick a shorter subject is not getting reflected.

Please advise.

Posting some code may help. Are you displaying errors anywhere in your view? Is the "sent successfully" message only being shown if validation is successful?

What do you mean by 'sent'? The validation check is made when the record is saved to the database not when the form is submitted. I think maybe you have an error in the controller code that is receiving the submit.
