Hi Tom, I had a similar task lately and the solution goes roughly like this:
First you get the localization file from here: http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ui/i18n/ You need to load this together with the other jQuery js like this: <%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery/jquery.ui.datepicker-de.js' %> After that you can setup you form like this: <%= label :start_date, "Datum von:" %> <%= text_field_tag :start_date, Time.now.strftime('%d.%m.%Y'), :autocomplete => "off" %> <%= label :end_date, "bis:" %> <%= text_field_tag :end_date, Time.now.strftime('%d.%m.%Y'), :autocomplete => "off" %> <%= submit_tag :for, :value => t("buttons.search") %> <script> $.datepicker.setDefaults( $.datepicker.regional["de"] ); $.datepicker.setDefaults({showWeek: true, minDate: new Date(2011, 0, 1), maxDate: "today", showOtherMonths: true, selectOtherMonths: true }); $('#start_date').datepicker(); $('#end_date').datepicker(); </script> This worked for me (didn't implement the Rails side on the server yet) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
