Rails - Sep 2006 - How to use a text box instead a lis for year in date_select

Hi,

I have a date_select in my application and is used to select birth date 
of authers. So it is quite long list of years in drop down list and 
seems not practical. I want to have month and date drop downs as it is 
and to use a text box to enter only the year. Is it possible with 
date_select?

Thank you.

Sameera

Dear Sameera:

I have written a little sample application that shows a possible 
solution to your problem.

Please email me if you want it - I will also describe the solution here 
in another email (after doing a little bit more code cleanup, tweaks), 
etc.

Thanks!
