date_select Ruby

Question

How do I extend the range of the date_select in Ruby?

It only goes as far as 2005 and I'd like to use it for the date of birth.

Answer 1

You can use the :start_year option, see the documentation.

Answer 2

<%= f.date_select :exp_date, :start_year=>2000,:end_year=>2030 %>

it will display 2000 to 2030 years..

if u want more you can change the :start_year and :end_year values.
