How to Show Error Messages Next to Field

Question

I have a form with input fields/labels etc. How do I get the error message to show up next to the field? instead of clumped together at the top?

I am using devise, rails 3

I have this at the top of my form:

 = form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| - if resource.errors.any?   #errorExplanation     %h2       = pluralize(resource.errors.count, "error")       prevented this user from being saved:     %ul       - resource.errors.full_messages.each do |msg|         %li           = msg 

Answer 1

You can use this

- if @resource.errors[:field_name]   ...

Answer 2

Just create a file in your initializers folder.

config/initializers/inline_errors.rb

Place this code in it:

ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance|   unless html_tag =~ /^<label/     %{<div class="has-error">#{html_tag}<span class="help-block">#{instance.error_message.first}</span></div>}.html_safe   else     %{#{html_tag}}.html_safe   end end 

PD: Sorry for my english.
