Question

I want to create a form element that gonna output like this

select date: [day] [month] [year]

and each [box] is select box …

how can I do it with Drupal Form api
I wouldn’t want to use any fancy plugins / addons.

 $form['dob'] = array(
  '#type' => 'select',
  '#title' => t('select date:'),
  '#options' => array(1,2,3),
 );

outputs only

select date: [day]

Answer 1

• You can create 3 form items, and using theming to get the desired result.
• You can create your own form item which create 3 select boxes and a label with hook_elements. This is somewhat time consuming.
