I have a rails form that has a datetime input.
I'd like to make the date input a single text box which the user will input in MM/DD/YYYY format (or via a jQuery datepicker) and then have the time inputs be 12 hour based time drop downs. I found this plugin - http://code.google.com/p/rails-twelve-hour-time-plugin/ - to handle the 12 hour time part but I'm not sure how to make the date (and only the date) a single textbox.
I was able to change it into multiple textboxes instead of multiple drop downs via this plugin - http://www.railslodge.com/plugins/981-date-time-text-field-helpers
I'd like to do it with minimal controller logic so if its possible to name the fields in such a way that rails knows how to concatenate them that would be ideal.
