How to use a text box instead a lis for year in date_select

Rails
1

Hi,

I have a date_select in my application and is used to select birth date
of authers. So it is quite long list of years in drop down list and
seems not practical. I want to have month and date drop downs as it is
and to use a text box to enter only the year. Is it possible with
date_select?

Thank you.

Dear Sameera:

I have written a little sample application that shows a possible
solution to your problem.

Please email me if you want it - I will also describe the solution here
in another email (after doing a little bit more code cleanup, tweaks),
etc.

Thanks!
