Dear all rubindasessssssss plz help …

I want to display the customised date field such that in browser after  
navigation, the field should have the default

value like dd mm yy in each of select boxes instead of the numeric  
value or the blank default one. Only after

clicking the select boxes the rest of numeric values should be  
displayed. How can it be possible… have any

idea???
