Use rails date_select without activerecord model

gistfile1.rb

#controller
@start_date = Date.civil(params[:range][:"start_date(1i)"].to_i,params[:range][:"start_date(2i)"].to_i,params[:range][:"start_date(3i)"].to_i)

#view
<%= date_select('range', 'start_date', :order => [:month, :day, :year])%>

And if you want to keep the value in that date select after submit.. ad the following line to your controller

@range = Struct.new(:start_date).new(@start_date)

thanks!~ good solution!~
