Hi I have the following date select box <%= date_select ''min'', ''min'' %> When you submit a date, it re-loads the page with the same date select box, but displays todays date, no matter what you submitted before. How can I get it to re load with the submitted date. Thanks Scott -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The first argument is object and the second one is method. If you have defined an instance variable object which matches what you put in the date_select argument for object which has a method matching what you put for method then the date_select parts will take that value when the page loads. Create a sample rails app and check out the edit page. It uses dates there and gets them to autopopulate. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
still a bit unsure on what you mean here the date select returns values in an array with 3 values params[''max''][''max(1i)''] ,2i and 3i but I have been unable to create an array with these names, the key seems to want an int and not a string, any suggestions? or am I on the wrong path all toggether?
