similar to: Problem with "date_select" form helper

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.

Hi All I''m attempting to make a simple time select field so I thought I just needed a datetime_select with the option :discard_year => true. However, every ''discard'' option except discard_year seems to work. So I''m left with a year, hour and minute to select. Could anyone please point me in the right direction? Much appreciated.

Hey guys, There''s been a patch in the queue for a few days around the discard_year option for date_select and datetime_select. The author has also attached a second patch which makes similar changes, but instead of just dropping the field, a hidden field is used instead. We only need one of these tickets open, and we probably should apply one of the patches.

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

I''m having trouble workign out which ActionView DateHelpers to display a time input for an ActiveRecord field of type :time. I just want an hours input and a minuites input.

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

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

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.

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.
