I am using date_select and in some instances it only shows about 10 years worth of choices. Same form on other users shows the whole range. date_select looks like this <%= date_select ''user'',''birthdate'' , :start_year => 1940 %> I would expect to always see 1940-2006 or...

Just looked at the Date helper in the rails API and noticed that none of the functions there (i.e. date_select) allow me to specify html options (i.e. class) for the generated selects. I was wondering how do other group members css format date select dropdowns?

Hey all, Using date_select in a form, how can I make the Year field a text_field instead of a select? It looks like it will take more than a simple modification of the date_select method.

Hi, I render a couple of date_select fields, the HTML looks fine, I can see the values submitted back to the server, but AR doesn''t pick them up from the hash in Booking.new(params[''booking'']). I''ve got a ''booking'' object with parameters product, startdate and enddate. HTML...

Hi there, I''m new to Rails -- started with this project just about five days ago -- I''m re-building an in-house ordering tool, and it would be handy to pre-populate a date_select field with a value two weeks from now. The calculation isn''t the hard part, it''s getting date_select to pre-populate itself. Any suggestions? Thanks, --Jim

I have the following code, but can''t seem to get the class attribute to show up in the generated select elements. I saw something about a bug/patch. However, as am still learning RoR I didn''t want to jump to conclusions. Anyone see anything wrong: <%= f.date_select :expiration_date, :order => [:month, :year], :discard_day => true, :class => "dtfld" %> I''ve also tried: <%= f.date_select :expiration_date, {:order => [:month, :year], :discard_day => true}, :class => "dtfld" %> --~--~---------~--~----~----...

In my date_select if I choose 31 april 2008, it converts it for 1st may 2008 which it seems odd for me? I say odd because first its difficult to validate at the model level, I have to hook some code in the controller and secondly when I finally get the validation errors I have to go back at the edit page and show t...

I am a little confused about the best way to work with date_select. I see that in my views it generates a simple input form that allows for the entry of year, month and date information. If I just leave it at that, great! But what if now in the controller, I want to work with the date information. I actually want to take the user input date and compute a new dat...

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 --...

Hi, I''m looking for a way to customize the HTML forms generated by date_select. I''m especially keen on replacing the year and possibly day input by a simple text field, since honestly, I find listboxes for years to be quite retarded (if I wanted client-side validation, there would be better ways to do that instead of having people try and find their year of birth in...
