Just thought I'd let you know how things turned out. I have discarded the idea of using date_select as it is full of inconsistencies which in the worst case can cause the application to crash. Instead I created three seperate text fields (DD-MM-YYYY)and using virtual attributes in the model mapped them to the "dob" field in the db. Now everything works like it should do (at last).
I am surprised that this has presented me with such a problem as entering one's dob into a form is a very common occurence. Nonetheless thanks for your help Fred. You definitely pointed me in the right direction. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
