Is there a way to make datetime_select() dropdowns work on a 12hr clock? I need to make a input field that works exactly like the reminders datetime selecton dropdowns in Backpack to populate a datetime field in my DB. i.e in the format: month, day, year ? hour (1-12) minute am/pm. Should I change my database to have a separate column for date and one for time and use date_select()? Can

Hi, I know that to make a dropdown box automatically submit when you change the value, you do this: <select ..... onchange="this.form.submit();"> BUT i''ve got an ajax form, and if i do the above trick, it simply reloads the ajax partial into the whole screen, rather than into the div where it is meant to go. I''ve already got it all working so that if you click

Just looked at the Date helper in the rails API and noticed that none of the functions there (i.e. date_select) allow me to specify html options (i.e. class) for the generated selects.
