All, Is there any built-in way in the "select" form helper to display something other than "Select" in the :include_blank option? Specifically, for a date helper, would like to show "Month", "Day", "Year" respectively for those options in 3 selects.

Try this:
script/generate scaffold Thing name:string when:datetime text:body
You''ll see:
In migration:
create_table :things do |t|
t.string :name
t.datetime :when
t.text :body
end
In view:
<h1>New thing</h1>
<% form_for(@thing) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
.
.
<p>
<%= f.label :when %><br />
<%= f.datetime_select :when %>
</p>
start your server and check out: localhost:3000/things/new

There''s also the :prompt option. I do recall that support of this with the date_select stuff was only added recently.

Re: Option on select form helper to customize "Select" text?
Fred, Thanks for the info. I neglected to mention that this is on Rails 1.2.6 (please no one "helpfully suggest" that I upgrade - thanks ;]), so these options are not available. It''s fine - I won''t die. One further question, if you use a "unified" helper like date_select in the current v. of Rails (obviously), can you set different promopts for each component input field of the date?
