Hi Chamnap,

have you tried "CalendarDateSelect" for date picking? It's fully integrated with rails form builders, its simple to use, and fairly lightweight. Also, it supports date/datetime.

For rich text editor, I don't know what's the best, but TinyMCE and fckeditor are pretty popular nowadays.

The classical TinyMCE opensource editor is very simple to integrate into your views (1 copy-paste of a JS and a JS link). I transforms the textareas you want into rich editors (HTML generated). Juste take a look: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/

… and the html it spits out in most cases is ugly as hell.
