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.

Hi, I''m looking for a way to customize the HTML forms generated by date_select. I''m especially keen on replacing the year and possibly day input by a simple text field, since honestly, I find listboxes for years to be quite retarded (if I wanted client-side validation, there would be better ways to do that instead of having people try and find their year of birth in a list of
