If it is your code what do you expect @period(3i) to do? Colin> > > why? > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > >

I don''t know how you would handle that. Colin
First, you do not need a plug-in to get a date in a form. The fact that you''re using one, though, is irrelevant to the issue. Next, look at the params hash which you''re getting. It clearly has the date as September 17, 2009, which is in the "period" hash as: "period(3i)"=>"17", "period(1i)"=>"2009", "period(2i)"=>"9" You have to understand that the "period" hash has three parts, identified as period(1i), period(2i), and period(3i), representing the year, month, and day, respectively. Accordingly, if your controller included something like: @p = params[:period] you would then be able to identify the respective portions of the date. So, what''s the problem?

thanks to all for the answers. I have thought to use the plugin active_form because it seemed me a valid solution in order to validate the data from the form. http://github.com/cs/active_form But if but there are these problems with the select_date helper then I will use another road. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
If you are trying to mass assign an attribute that does not exist to an instance of your model, you need to create a virtual attribute http://railscasts.com/episodes/16-virtual-attributes On Sep 18, 6:24 am, Aldo Italo <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> thanks to all for the answers. > > I have thought to use the plugin active_form because it seemed me a > valid solution in order to validate the data from the form. > > http://github.com/cs/active_form > > But if but there are these problems with the select_date helper then I > will use another road. > > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.
