I think I need some clarification here I remember using the error_message FormIt placeholder in order to display if there were any errors on a form.

Well for some reason I am using it now and it does not work, was this changed in FormIt or am I doing something wrong?

Here is my error_message code:

[[!+fi.error_message:notempty=`<div id="errors">
        <p>Please review the following errors:</p>
		<ul>
			[[!+fi.error.name:notempty=`<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#name">Name is a required field</a></li>`]]
			[[!+fi.error.email:notempty=`<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#email">Email is a required field</a></li>`]]
			[[!+fi.error.comment:notempty=`<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#comment">Comment is a required field</a></li>`]]
		</ul>
	</div>`]]

I tried getting rid of the nested errors and it still doesn't work so I am really wondering what is going on.

Thanks.

The "error_message" contains an error message when something went wrong after validation. You should use "validation_error" instead. This one contains 0 or 1 if there are validation errors. So;

[[!+fi.validation_error:notempty=`<div id="errors">
        <p>Please review the following errors:</p>
        <ul>
            [[!+fi.error.name:notempty=`<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#name">Name is a required field</a></li>`]]
            [[!+fi.error.email:notempty=`<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#email">Email is a required field</a></li>`]]
            [[!+fi.error.comment:notempty=`<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#comment">Comment is a required field</a></li>`]]
        </ul>
    </div>`]]

You would also have a placeholder named "validation_error_message".
