Thank you so much! It worked perfectly!

As per comment on this blog post: http://www.ddarrensmith.com/blog/2012/05/17/ruby-on-rails-client-side-validation-with-validation-helpers-and-twitter-bootstrap/

If you want to use this with current stable version of client side validations (3.1.4)
You have to change this line
ClientSideValidations.formBuilders['SimpleForm::FormBuilder']
to
clientSideValidations.formBuilders['SimpleForm::FormBuilder']

You might also need to change the name of the formBuilder if you subclass CustomFormBuilder < SimpleForm::FormBuilder
