Hi Folks, I’m having such a weird problem with the DateHelper. Here is how I’m using it, from the view: Birth date \<%= x.date\_select(:birth\_date, :start\_year =\> 1900) %\> x is the variable that is being yield from a fields\_for. There are more fields in the same form, and they work just perfect. When I try to submit the form, I get a ActiveRecord::MultiparameterAssignmentErrors in UsersController#edit And here is the page source I got in the browser: Birth date 1900 1901 1902 1903 ... January February March ... 1 2 3 ... If you look carefully, you’re going to see that the select tag for month is with a very wierd name, wich is: And the year and date fields are just ok! Any tips?

I have already seen that page… It didn’t help, because the date is correct, the problem is the formation of the html tag. Any other tip, please? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Date: Dec 3, 2007 8:42 AM Subject: [Rails] Re: Weird bug with date\_select To: “Ruby on Rails: Talk” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Hi, Pls have a look on this link…Will get a slution for your problem.
