Rails

Hi

on the code below the validates all the form fields

if @client.save
  flash[:notice] = 'Client was successfully created.'
  redirect_to :action => 'list'
else
  render :action => 'new'
end

how can I do this action without having to save the object?

ie

if validate
#move on to next stage
else
redner :action => new
end

how can I do this action without having to save the object?

ie

if validate

if @client.valid?

According ot the API docs: “Runs validate and validate_on_create or
validate_on_update and returns true if no errors were added otherwise
false”.
