I have the following code, but can’t seem to get the class attribute  
to show up in the generated select elements. I saw something about a  
bug/patch. However, as am still learning RoR I didn’t want to jump to  
conclusions. Anyone see anything wrong:

\<%= f.date\_select :expiration\_date, :order =\>  
[:month, :year], :discard\_day =\> true, :class =\> “dtfld” %\>

I’ve also tried:

\<%= f.date\_select :expiration\_date, {:order =\>  
[:month, :year], :discard\_day =\> true}, :class =\> “dtfld” %\>

Try this  
\<%= f.date\_select :expiration\_date, {:order =\>  
[:month, :year], :discard\_day =\> true},{ :class =\> “dtfld”} %\>

Thanks, that worked. Still learning when to hash it up 😉
