The best thing is not to let the user enter a simple string for the
date, but give him different fields for day, month and year and then
combine them into a date. Allowing him to enter it as a string will
cause problems as different users will expect different ordering of
the date. I generally use date_select for dates as Rails will
automatically combine the form fields for you.
