date_select tag doesn't get stored in my rails app

Question

Hi there,

I'm trying to let the user select his birthday with:

<% form_for :user, :url => users_path do |f| %>
  <%= f.date_select :birthday, :start_year => 2010 , :end_year =>1920, :discard_day => true %>
<% end %>

The problem is that it doesn't get saved... birthday is a date field in the users table and to save it I call

@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.save

what could be the problem?

Thanks Maechi

The problem is due to discard day option that you choose. See the html code of date_select tag.You will get clue from there.
