Hi Karen,
Thank you for your answer, but when i access the _errors att in a
controller methods, and
adds a new array containing a unicode string, it is not rendered like
the other error messages.
I see an output like
[u'Stuff happened']
where I put {{ form.field.errors }} in my template. I expected it to
be rendered as a normal error message (ul, li)
What am I doing wrong?
Regards, Lars Borup Jensen
