The best thing is not to let the user enter a simple string for the date, but give him different fields for day, month and year and then combine them into a date. Allowing him to enter it as a string will cause problems as different users will expect different ordering of the date. I generally use date_select for dates as Rails will automatically combine the form fields for you.
