Hi, How can I set a default date for a date_select? I''m trying to do something along the lines of: <%= date_select("requirement", "target_date", :end_year => 2020, :discard_day => true, :include_blank => true, :order => [:month, :year], :default => {:month => 10, :year => 2012 }) %> but the default that comes up on the form is blank month

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, minor question: If I create a form where some entries are of type date (i.e. use the form.date_select to create the form field), it does not allow to enter a NULL date. Even if the user does not enter anything, it forces a NULL date to become today''s date. Is there any (simple) way to give a date a NULL choice? regards Hadmut --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

hi, using date_select right from a generated scaffold code leads to an error if an impossible date is selected (like the 31 of february) can''t get a way to correct this via a validation.... in fact that make sens because in the model i have the ''dateofbirth'' object which is a date object.... so providing an impossible day-month-year trio leads to an impossible

I''ve been banging my head against this wall for several hours, and it hurts now so I''ll stop and ask someone. In one of my forms I had been using a statement to extract the current year for use with some form field calculations. <% currentyear = DateTime.now.year %> And then further down several date_selects like the following, <%= date_select

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

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.

Folks, I think I should start a new thread for this, because a similar one I saw is a bit old and the resolution there doesn''t seem to apply to what I''m running into now.
