hello, i would like to display a collection of records on one page (e.g. an author record with all his/her books). a record contains a text_area (e.g. a description of the book) and a date_select (e.g. when the book was published). <% for @book in @author.books %> <%= text_area ''book[]'', ''note'' %> <%= datetime_select

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.

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. Thanks in advance. Cam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to

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. I took a look at the ruby source for

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

I''m trying to select items from a database by their date field. The date data is coming from a form using the date_select helper. The field in the database is named date_notified_on. My controller method is this: def history_date if(@params) @notifications = Notification.find(:all, :conditions => ["date_notified_on = ?",

Dates defined chosen with date_select are not coming through once the form is submitted.

Hi, I could not find an easy way to specify the ''id'' attribute for select inputs of ''date_select'' form helper. I need to set it because I want to retrieve date selects values from a javascript. <%= date_select ''product'', ''expiration'' %> generates <select name="product[expiration(1i)]">

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
