Community, I have been putting off implementing a Date selector for too long. Tonight, I finally put it in. I made the choice to go with the datebox engine. Once I got it installed and working, I realized I didn''t like the way it required you to call it. Example: <% @dateField = model.date %> <%= date_box %> or... <% @dateField1 = model.date %> <%=
