Since the html-Code is rendered more or less correctly, this is nothing  
todo  
with Rails, it’s a clear JavaScript issue. Get yourself a script  
debugger,place some alerts, check, if scripts are executed, and so one.  
If you don’t want to bother with JavaScript and are not bound to jquery  
you  
can use [http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/](http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/)
