do it like this--- In view--- date_select(:from, :date, options)
in controller --- remember when you give date_select it creates a hash like this--- "from" => { "date(1i)" => "value", "date(2i)" => "value", "date(3i)" => "value" } from_date = (params["from"]["date(1i)"].to_s+"-"+params["from"] ["date(2i)"].to_s+"-"+params["from"]["date(3i)"].to_s).to_date this will give you the format you desire.----
also when i write query @infos=Info.find(:all,:conditions => ["dt > ?", params[:form]]) it didn't compare..so what is the reason behind this..
use from_date in find command instead of params[:form] I think this should do.
