similar to: default date for date_select

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

I have the following code, but can''t seem to get the class attribute to show up in the generated select elements. I saw something about a bug/patch. However, as am still learning RoR I didn''t want to jump to conclusions. Anyone see anything wrong: <%= f.date_select :expiration_date, :order => [:month, :year], :discard_day => true, :class => "dtfld" %>

I am trying to create a form for processing credit cards. For the credit card expiration date, I would like to leave the day field out of the form for obvious reasons. However, the following code is producing an error for me. Any ideas? Thanks! <p><label for="email">Expiration</label><br/> <input type="hidden" id="user_card_expiration_3i"

Hi, I have this helper and would like to add a html class to each of the select box''s it generates, however I have been unable to find a way? <%= f.date_select ''date_of_birth'', :order => [:day,:month,:year], :start_year => 1940, :end_year => Time.now.year, :include_blank => true %> Any suggestions? thanks john -- Posted via

I want to allow users to enter a day and a month, but not necessarily a year. i.e. it should be optional. If I select the day and month, but a blank year and then submit i get: 1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes The paramaters regarding the date look like this: {"date_of_birth(2i)"=>"3",

I''m getting markup violation errors on my tests and I noticed that a template with this (a modified 0.13.1 generated scaffold). <label for="credit_card_account">Account</label> <%= text_field ''credit_card'', ''account'' %> <label for="credit_card_expires_on">Expires on</label>

I''ve been to the RoR api docs trying to find out about options for various methods (mostly for select helper methods), yet I find no listing of options even when the method described says that it takes options. How can I find out what are valid options say for a date_select tag? Thanks, Dave

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. Anyway, my date_select calls are bombing on me with the exception: ---- ActionView::TemplateError (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)) on line #8 of entries/_dates_form.haml: 8: = date_select(

Hi All, I am wondering if it is possible to have date_select fields that are indexed for updating of multiple rows. Here is my code: <% @book.awards.each do |@award| %> <tr> <td><%= select("award[]", "category", [ "Fiction", "Non-Fiction", "Poetry", "First-Boak", "Translation" ], { :include_blank

I am using date_select and in some instances it only shows about 10 years worth of choices. Same form on other users shows the whole range. date_select looks like this <%= date_select ''user'',''birthdate'' , :start_year => 1940 %> I would expect to always see 1940-2006 or so , but i dont always do. Is there a way to force the range or explain why i

Hi, I''ve looked on api.rubyonrails.org but I''ve not found how to add to a date_select(object, method, options = {}) a class option to set the class of all the select tags. I''ve tried using "class" => "myclass" in thoose ways: <%= date_select("costo", "data", "class" => "testo" ) %> <%=

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.

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, 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

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

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.

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
