I am building a small app that reuires some clever text pattern matching... In my controller, I''ll have a string that I will want to parse out to a datetime and a message, a la Google Calendar Quick Add. Examples: 10/30/2006 7pm message 10-30-96 7:00 pm message 10/30/2006 19:00pm message ... You see what I''m getting at. For a v1.0 release, I CAN publish some standards for

Community, I have been putting off implementing a Date selector for too long. Tonight, I finally put it in. I made the choice to go with the datebox engine. Once I got it installed and working, I realized I didn''t like the way it required you to call it. Example: <% @dateField = model.date %> <%= date_box %> or... <% @dateField1 = model.date %> <%=

Instead of 3 selectfields with day, month, year I find this one much more userfriendly, also having yesterday, today and tomorrow. Are there plugins for this?

Before I starting writing a helper to display a calendar I wondered if anyone was aware of a calendar helper, basically something that is displayed inline (not a pop-up window) that can replace a date_select.

I''m just curious about what techniques others have successfully used to capture date data on forms as an alternative to the standard date_select. I have to admit I''ve been lazy and only used the date_select as we have very few dates in our system now, but that is about to change. I would like something better.
