Date format in text field

[ssk]

I use american_date gem in my rails 3.0 application.
Ruby is 1.9.3

Everything works as expected except for input field.
It shows 2013-04-02 style.

I have the following configuration in initialize directory.
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:default] = "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"
Date::DATE_FORMATS[:default] = '%m/%d/%Y'

How do I fix it?

american_date only deals with parsing dates, not with display of dates. You would probably have exactly the same issues if you don't use american_date (try removing the use of american_date temporarily to confirm).

You probably need to ask on a Rails list why your Rails code isn't working. My guess is your input field isn't using DATE_FORMATS[:default] to display the date.

You're right. I thought using the gem would change the display of input.
Thanks.
