Say I have some stuff in my database Item 1 DATETIME (Sometime in Janurary) Item 2 DATETIME (Sometime in Feburary) And now the month is March. I would like to be able to do this in the view effectively: <%= select( ''donated'', ''donated_on'', [[''Janurary 2006'', DATETIME for JAN2006], [''Feburary 2006'', DATETIME for FEB2006], [''March 2006'', DATETIME for MAR2006]]) %> so that, when the user selects the entry and submits for it, I will be able to process that data and query the information from my db accordingly. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
