Dates defined chosen with date_select are not coming through once the form is submitted. I have this in a form: <%= date_select ''search'', ''date_start'', :include_blank => true %> <%= date_select ''search'', ''date_end'' , :include_blank => true %> However, when I submit the form params[:search][:date_start] is nil. I have other text fields that are coming through just fine. Somehow rails isn''t reassembling the date object. Surely I dont have to create the date object by hand. My log shows the pieces of the date are indeed in the request parameters. So what do I need to do to actually access the date passed from the form? ### parameters hash form log Parameters: {"search"=>{"date_start(1i)"=>"2006", "date_start(2i)"=>"5", "date_start(3i)"=>"4", "date_end(1i)"=>"2006", "first_name"=>"", "login"=>"sq", "date_end(2i)"=>"5", "last_name"=>"", "email"=>"", "date_end(3i)"=>"6"}, "commit"=>"Search", "action"=>"search", "controller"=>"admin/orders"} -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
