The select_date method requires a Date as the first value. It's actually a
bit confusing. Compare select_date with date_select; they're one of the form
helper pairs that Rails has, where one accepts raw data, the other accepts
an object and method_name.

Ok, I'm looking back in this thread a bit and it looks like you had it
correct before. Now that I've compared the two methods myself, the only
change I'd suggest to the paste in your third email is to change ":prefix =>
'record_geboortedatum'" to ":prefix => input_name". Our patch to support the
:name method only affected date_select et. al., and not select_date et. al.
