\<% form\_for @booking do |f| %\>  
…  
\<%= calendar\_date\_select\_tag “datecome”, “#{Date.today}”, :popup =\>  
“force”,:year\_range =\> [0.years.ago, 1.years.from\_now] %\>

I just updated to Revision 333 (calendar\_date\_select) and prototype  
1.6.0.  
Sometime datecome is empty, sometimes it is set.

I also tried:

\<%= calendar\_date\_select\_tag “datecome”, “#{Date.today}”, :popup =\>  
“force”,  
:year\_range =\> [0.years.ago, 1.years.from\_now],  
:name =\> “[booking]” %\>

but this does not work, too.

Can somebody help?

I already read it - without success.  
I switched to [Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.](http://code.google.com/p/rails-unobtrusive-date-picker/)

…and it works…it looks much more confortable to me.
