Hi,

I have this in my view,

\<%= date\_select(‘Case’, ‘date\_from’,  
:end\_year =\> 1990, :start\_year =\>Date.today.year,  
:discard\_day =\> true,  
:include\_blank =\> true,  
:order =\> [:month, :year])%\>

if only month is chosen and not year, then i have problems reloading it.  
Lets say i chose July as month and leave year empty.

When I render the new again (say for an active record error), year will  
be 2007 (please note that 7 is taken from july . I it take 2005 for May)  
and month is shown as January.

Any idea how to solve this?

Regards.
