Re: Year drop down

Hi akshay, thanks for your response, it's work fine on the form, but when I want to submit, it display this error

1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes

I think it's because your code are using date_select and my admission_year column in database is using int(4), any idea how to tackle this issue? sorry, total n00b here  don't have any experience is doing rails.
