I’d like to be able to use the select\_date helper, but exclude the day  
selection list vs. select\_month and select\_year. Is that possible? It  
doesn’t seem to work, but thought I’d ask in case I might be doing  
something wrong.

Isn’t it date\_select?

Depends on whether you’re using it with form\_for or form\_tag. I’m  
using form\_tag so it is select\_date.
