You dont have how, when writing the file edit.rhtml, to write the script for when you want to edit the date. I have tried many different methods but nothing works for me.

    You can look at the code the Rails uses to edit dates by actually generating the scaffold code (I don't cover this in the article).

    Create a dummy table in your database (call it,say, "foobars"), and besides the id field, add a date field. Then run the command in the root directory of you cookbook:

    ruby scripts/generate scaffold foobars

    This will actually create the model, controller, and view templates, letting you see exactly how Rails implements it.
