Hi, I have a field for the user which is their birthday. I am letting them edit it and then save it if they want. However, the form displays the current date/time, and when they save the form without changing the birthdate (because they do not wish to set it), the current date/time gets saved to the db. How do I do this? I thought about having a hidden field which would be the current date/time and after they submit the form, compare it to the nonhidden value to see if they changed it, but I feel like that is not a clean way to do it. Any suggestions? Do I need to clarify more? Thanks! -- Randy Schmidt x@altorg.com 267.334.6833

Something simple like a checkbox include my birthday might be best and validate that its been checked. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
