Re: [PhillyOnRails] Simple Form Validation Example

[Jason Lenhart <jplenhart@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Just as a follow-up, I was looking for something that
would act sort of like what a FormBean in Struts does
without the ActiveRecord.  I came across this, which
would allow you to continue using the helpers in a
non-model way (does that make sense?):

Thanks,

Jason
