Thanks for the reply. So in your code, this validation is associated
with password, so wherever I decide to render validation errors for
password, this would be shown there. What if I wanted to render this
validation error separately from other field validations? Ultimately,
I'd like validation errors for a particular field to be along side the
field in question, I'd like more general validation errors such as
password mismatch or data uniqueness to be shown in a separate area of
the form. Is there a way to render an error for a field, *for* a
particular message?
Thanks again.
