I am submitting multiple records in a single POST.

I am trying to use date\_select as follows:

\<%= date\_select(‘event\_date[]’, :occurs\_at) %\>

Usually, the [] in the object name instructs the tag to put the object  
ID in  
the generated HTML. Works fine for all the other tags but date\_select  
seems  
to ignore it.

I’m hoping that I am doing something wrong and date\_select doesn’t have  
a  
bug…

Anyone know?

Thanks,  
HH

HH,

I wasn’t able to find it from the ticket you pasted, nor the ticket  
referred  
to  
by that ticket, but did you see what version of rails this was fixed in?  
From what  
I can clean from the comment stream interspersed with spam comments this  
has yet to be merged into trunk.

I ran into this problem back in January, fixed it, and posted this easy  
fix:

I’ll respond to my own post.

This is indeed a bug (or whatever).

Anyway, it’s fixed:

You¹re right, it hasn¹t been applied yet. I was incorrect ­ jumped the  
gun a  
bit.
