# renderErrors

## Purpose

Allows rendering of errors in different formats (at the moment only an HTML list is implemented )

## Examples

Render a list for the "book" bean:

    <g:renderErrors bean="${book}" as="list" />

Render a list for the title field of the "book" bean:

    <g:renderErrors bean="${book}" as="list" field="title"/>
