Installation DIDN\"T create any js files, so I created them and put c

Answer 1

When you run the command rails g client_side_validations:install it seems to only generate the initializer config/initializers/client_side_validations.rb.

However, on the github page under the "Install" section they mention the command for copying the javascript file to the project's assets: rails g client_side_validations:copy_assets

Note: If you run Rails >= 3.1 you don't need to add the javascript file in the layout anymore, it should be sufficient to have <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %> as long as the application.js contains the line //= require_tree . which includes all javascript files under app/assets/javascripts directory.

In the initializer client_side_validations.rb file you also need to uncomment the last block:

# Uncomment the following block if you want each input field to have the validation messages attached.
ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance|
  ...
end

Once you have done this you need to restart the server for the changes to take effect.
