No. This actually assigns to local variables called options and
html_options, then uses the values of those assignments. What you
should do is
select_month(0, {:include_blank => true}, {:onchange => "setBirthMMDD"}
)
If this is hard to understand, review your basic Ruby syntax.

And so you should. The issue here is that Ruby needs to know where one
hash ends and the other begins, which is why you need explicit braces.

Unfortunately, in trying to do that, you made a potentially more serious
mistake (more serious because it might clobber local variables you're
using).
