I have been looking all through the documentation and can't find anything to display the time in 12 hours format with an AM/PM option. Is there an option for datetime_select to do this? Or a plugin?

Personally, I think of the Rails date_select helpers in a similar way I think of scaffolding. It's fine for "quick-n-dirty" entry of dates and times, but for a "real" application go find a decent calendar widget. One that supports entry of both date and time in a more intuitive and user friendly way.

Here's one example: GitHub - timcharper/calendar_date_select: A previously popular but no longer maintained JavaScript DatePicker for RubyOnRails (and others) (Demo: http://electronicholas.com/calendar)

Thanks! I like the date and time option with the calendar widget.
