similar to: how to have default date for date_select

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 date some number of days in the

I want to allow users to enter a day and a month, but not necessarily a year. i.e. it should be optional.

Hi, How can I set a default date for a date_select?

Why select_date and select_date? I dont understand why having both (backward compat?). I also look that their source are different, one use the InstanceTag and others calls 3 select_(year, month, day) functions.

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.

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 the selected date(and the error message) which should be 31 april 2008 but the date

Hi All I seem to have a problem with date_select methods. I cannot set a default date.
