Rails - Jun 2006 - Default Value for date_select helper

Hi All:

Just curious if anyone has figured out how to set a default date for the 
date_select helper.

My application has a form with both a start date and end date select for 
the user. Since the period between the two is a minimum of 24 hours I 
wanted to have the start date default to Date.today (which it does 
automatically) and then have the end date default to the following date 
(i.e. start date = 06/01/2006; end date = 06/02/2006).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

If the period between them must be a minimum of 24 hours and you''re  
selecting a date rather and a date and time, why do you need a date  
select box for the second date? Given any start date, you only have  
two options for the end date: the same day and the day after.
