error_message_on closes parent tag

Reported by Mike Heffner | February 12th, 2010 @ 09:34 PM

I have the following simple form:

<% form_for(form, :url => root_path) do |f| %>
<p>
  <%= f.label :name %>
  <%= f.error_message_on :name %>
  <%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
...

Each label/input is enclosed in a paragraph tag. When this is initially rendered, I see the expected HTML:

<form action="/" class="new_user_invite" id="new_user_invite" method="post">
<!-- auth token.... -->
<p>
  <label for="user_invite_name">Name</label>
  
  <input id="user_invite_name" name="user_invite[name]" size="30" type="text">
</p>
...

However, if there is an error on this field, I end up with the following HTML:

<form action="/" class="new_user_invite" id="new_user_invite" method="post">
<!-- auth token ... -->
<p>
  </p><div class="fieldWithErrors"><label for="user_invite_name">Name</label></div>
  <div class="formError">can't be blank</div>
  <div class="fieldWithErrors"><input id="user_invite_name" name="user_invite[name]" size="30" value="" type="text"></div>
...

As you can see, the validation error on this field causes the

tag to be closed before the label & input HTML is generated. This obviously is not what is expected here.

I'm using rails 2.3.5, rack 1.0.1 and rake 0.8.7.

    Second to last sentence was intended to be (chopped the html tag):
