Hi railsians, just wondering if anyone has any info on passing html_options to date helpers? My problem is that I need to do a select_month, but I need to pass an ID attribute to the HTML and there are no html_options for those helpers apparently. The reason why I need to pass the ID is to access it in JS, and I can''t because of the name of the select is for the hash (ie "date[month]"), which means it has brackets (my JS skills are rusty, maybe there''s a way to access it even with that name? thx -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I found three pending patches for adding id attributes to date helpers: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/1050 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/1382 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2655 -- We develop, watch us RoR, in numbers too big to ignore.
