Rails

Hi…
I use non modal attribute for companyinfo modal…
For that i have created like below

attr_accessor :std_code

To validate that field i included the below code in to my companyinfo
modal.

validates_presence_of :std_code,:message => ‘*The std number is
required.’

it validates when i leave that field empty and shows the validation
error.
but even after filling the field it shows me error…
what would be the problem…
pls help

I am not sure what you mean by a non modal attribute.

pls help
Have you checked in the rails log that std_code is being passed in
with the params?

I have not tried to validate an attribute that is not in the table.
If it is not saving it what is the point of the validation?
I would suggest using ruby-debug to break into the controller just
before the validation and check the value of std_code.

ok…in this case you can do validation in this way…

validate :std_code

def std_code
errors.add( :std_code ) if self.std_code and self.std_code.blank?
end
