Is anyone aware of a comprehensive guide on using simple_form with a 
Bootstrap modal, especially getting the inline errors to work? 

It seems the thing to do or error is re-render the entire form on the 
server (with errors), push that to the client as JavaScript, and use Ajax 
to inject it into the modal. I'm close, but it's looking at my JavaScript 
as a JSON variable and giving me a "JSON.parse: unexpected character" 
error. I've posted my current code here:

Is there a better way? I saw one article<http://www.readncode.com/blog/2012/05/28/create-new-records-with-bootstrap-modal-and-unobtrusive-javascript-in-rails/>that recommends client-side validations, but it doesn't seem like that 
should be necessary.

Thanks,
