I’ll assume that the date is used to select Info instances based on  
their created\_on date. In your view you’ll have something like this:

\<% form\_for :info, :url=\>search\_infos\_path do |f| %\>  
\<%= f.label\_for :created\_on, “Select info for” %\>  
\<%= f.date\_select :created\_on %\>  
\<% end %\>

In your InfosController:

def search  
@infos = Info.find(:all, :conditions=\>{:created\_on=\>params[:info]  
[:created\_on]}  
respond\_to do |format|  
…  
end  
end

Not quite select\_date (and date\_select) both result in 3 separate  
parameters being submitted (year/month/day). If you’re passing the  
params hash into SomeModel.new or update\_attributes (and thus leaning  
on the MultiparameterAssignment stuff in rails) you need to pass them  
into Date::civil or Time.mktime yourself (I’m pretty sure I’ve written  
the exact same post at least twice in the past few days - odd)

Right again, Fred. I was blowing right by that.
