Description

The error_messages_for method and friends have been extracted into a plug-in in Rails 3:

I've already added in a simple partial to display the errors above the form, but still need to provide "decoration" for form fields with validation errors.

    Ok, on inspection, I see that in Rails 2 a CSS class, fieldWithErrors, is applied to fields with validation errors.

    In Rails 3, the class has been changed to field_with_errors.

    So all I need to do is edit my CSS to get the old behavior back.

    I think I'm going to add some JS magic as well to display the errors in a tool tip or similar right on the field.
