I added :order option for datetime_select, it renders normal selection boxes with order year, month and day.

Hello all, I have a form with a datetime_select. I need to use the actual time selected in an action triggered by observe_field. Could make it work with other select fields, but not with datetime_select. Seems that observe_field can locate the element just by the id (not by the name).

Hello It seems that datetime_select, is creating an instance of the Time class. Why would that be? I found this while building a site where people can create vigils (prayer vigils, peace vigils, etc).

ok so datetime_select if you use the discard options say { :discard_month => true } when you just do update_attributes on said object year would be correct month would be the hour date would be the minute so if you select year: 2005 hour: 12 minute: 13 the time object would go into the db as: ''2005-12-13 00:00:00'' so my question is how do i get the time object properly

I was looking over the datetime_select helpers in the Rails api page today and I didn''t see anything that would allow me to build a datetime field with timezone offset.
