I want something really simple: I want a date_select that has blanks (:include_blanks works fine so far), but having an empty value in the select box on the webpage is ugly, so I want something more informative there, like "month" or "select a month" or something. In other words: <select id="user_birthdate_2i" name="user[birthdate(2i)]"> <option value="">Month</option> <option value="1">January</option> <option value="2">February</option> <option value="3">March</option> <option value="4">April</option> <option value="5">May</option> <option value="6">June</option> <option value="7">July</option> <option value="8">August</option> <option value="9">September</option> <option value="10">October</option> <option value="11">November</option> <option value="12">December</option> </select> How do I do that? I can''t find any way to accomplish this in any docs nor in the source, yet it seems like a really obvious thing to want to do.
