search for: include_blank

Guys, I''m using select_tag to display a non-model dropdown, which works fine. However, I''ve tried every which way to use the :include_blank => true option, but it simply won''t display a blank value. Using :include_blank => true with select on model fields works fine. Can someone please show me a working example? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, date_select is a great helper, but I couldn''t find a way to make it display a text like "Please Select" instead of blank field. When I use date_select with a param of :include_blank => true, it renders an option with a value of "" and string of "". I want to display "Please Select". Anyway to do this? Maybe overwriting ActionView modules would do, bu since I''m in a process of getting comfy with ruby, I couldn''t figure out how...

I want my date fields to default to NIL or "", because the presence of a date means something. My problem is that rails is defaulting the fields to today''s date automatically when I create a new record through the scaffold. I tried removing the default ''0000-00-00'' and changing NOT NULL to NULL, but both columns get today''s date as the default

I would like to have a date control on a page and I would like a behavior similar to what you get using date_select with the :include_blank => true option where the first value in the dropdown is "- Month -", "- Day -", or "- Year -" rather than a blank value for the respective month, day, and year select fields.
