Cakephp validation error box

Question

I'm trying to use the build-in validation in cakephp 2.5

My problem is, with text fields I've got the nice jquery error message but for a select field, the message appear in a div. I don't know if I'm missing something in my select to get the error box or it's just not available for that type of field.

screenshot

<?php echo $this->Form->label('launch', 'Launching Site <span class="crRed">*</span>', 'crLabel');?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('launch', array('label' => false, 'div' => false, 'class'=>'crText crW320 crRequired'));?>

<?php echo $this->Form->label('pfd_c', 'Personal Flotation Device <span class="crRed">*</span>', 'crLabel');?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('pfd_c', array('type'=>'select', 'options'=>array(0, 1, 2), 'label' => false, 'div' => false, 'class'=>'crLegendText3'));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('pfd_p', array('type'=>'select', 'options'=>array(0 => 'No', 1 => 'Yes'), 'label' => false, 'div' => false, 'class'=>'crLegendText3'));?>

Thx

First of all, this is not a jQuery error message at all, this is an html5 required attribute: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_required.asp

Sometimes CakePHP can set it automaticaly from validation rules. If it is not, then you can set it manualy by puting 'required'=>true in your options array. Here is a solution for your example:

<?php echo $this->Form->input('pfd_c', array('type'=>'select', 'options'=>array(0, 1, 2), 'label' => false, 'div' => false, 'class'=>'crLegendText3', 'required'=>true));?>

But keep notice that not all browsers supports required attribute, so you may want to leave an div error messages for these browsers.
