Is there an easy way to limit the time portion on a datetime\_select to  
only every 15 minutes? ie, restrict minute selection on the form to  
only: :00, :15, :30, :45 -

Also, can I set it as a 12-hour clock instead of 24-hr?

here’s what I have now:

\<%= datetime\_select( :schedule, :coursedate, :order =\>  
[:month,:day,:year] ) %\>

Thanks in advance for your help.

sorry, can’t help you with datetime\_select,  
but maybe that’s an interesting alternative:
