If I’m using remote\_form\_for, how would I get the model validations to  
render just like on a non-ajax form?

This is a possible pattern: In the view you have a DIV for errors,  
originally empty, and perhaps factored out to a partial ready for RJS  
“reloading”.

When the form is submitted there’s a RJS response that updates that  
DIV if @model.errors.empty? \> 0, or else follows your regular  
application flow, for example it redirects to a show action with  
page.redirect\_to.
