Question

I’ve used Ruby on Rails 3 to generate scaffolding for a model including Date of Birth as a date native type. However, the default UI element for the year only gives you the option of +- 5 years from the current year, meaning the range is limited to 2006-2016.

Is there an elegant way to restrict this range to all years before the current year?

Answer 1

Is this what you are looking for?

<%= select_year(Date.today, :start_year => 1992, :end_year => 2011) %>

see this.
