Validation ...

[eluser][email protected][/eluser]
I am looking for this solution also, I have looked into the error handling, however, I can't seem to intercept the CI error handling for example

insert ('name') values ('hello', 'yo');

throws an error, and I would like to catch this and
just display 'error' (I would like this functionality for ajax, instead of returning a huge page to have to parse for an error message.)
