Styling the date_select objects

Hello People,

jsut wanted to know how I could add style to the date_select helper objects. I'm currently using the style option ( :style => '' ... " ) but this isn't working. Anyone could help me with that issue.

Best Regards,

Joel

Here's just one example I ran across: http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/form_controls/select/

Although it's nice having those helpers and they work fine in many cases, I generally prefer to forgo them altogether for public facing web sites and go with something a lot more flexible. I have used the Zapatec http://www.zapatec.com/website/main/products/prod1/index.jsp JavaScript calendar widget with good success.

Unfortunately, getting the resulting date into the database takes a little bit of work on the controller side, since you don't get the automatic parsing of the date into the database as with the date_select helpers. This provides a much nicer user experience in my opinion. And if it takes a little bit more work on my part to give my users a great experience then I call that a win.
