    <select name="year" *id="year"*>
    <option value="1910">1910</option>
    <!--to current year-->
    <option value="2008">2008</option>
    </select>
     
    <select name="month" *id="month"*>
    <option value="1">January</option>
    <option value="2">February</option>
    <option value="3">March</option>
    <!--etc...-->
    </select>
     
    <select name="days" *id="days"*>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
    <!--etc...-->
    </select>
     
    *<input type="hidden" value = "" name = "dob" id="dob"/>*
     
    In JQuery write:
     
    *$('form id').submit(function(){*
    * var day = $('#days').val();*
    * var month = $('#month').val();*
    * var year = $('#year').val();*
    * *
    * var dob = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;*
    *
    *
    * $('#dob").val(dob);*
    *});
    *
    In your server-side code, extract the value of *dob* and save it.

    But none the less, handling it with a calendar is much more preferred.
    JQueryUI library has a readymade calendar API. Its very versatile and
    flexible and meets most of the needs.

    Perfect, sorry I should have provided an example. Good call on the submit
    event.

    All,
     
    I definitely don't have my mind made up. Just strongly opinionated.
     
    Your arguments are convincing. I prefer to work in raw code without
    the "rubber gloves" of helper web-based editors, but I can't argue
    with the speed of templating.
     
    I got out of this work for awhile. I guess I need to reconsider.

    Well, Jud, it's not just about web developer/designer convenience, it's also about what's best for the client. And most clients do best on sites that they can maintain themselves. Notice I said "most." And I am a firm believer in making sure the client is in control, at least as much as they want to be.
     
    And as far as WYSIWYG editors, I don't use them. I use my own tools to work, offline, in the template code, HTML and CSS (EditPlus and TopStyle Pro should you wonder). But it IS nice to be able to hop onto the site and make a tweak here and there when necessary without those tools. The web based editors are more for the clients' convenience I should imagine.

    Jud,
     
    If you don't want to use the wysiwyg editor, in some CMS's you can set the
    editor to none and code away. One of the good things about using a CMS is
    the fact that you can just install what you need. There is a definite
    tradeoff in site load time though due to the calls to the database.

    After the last 4 years of building in Joomla almost exclusively (over 100
    sites), I have almost abandoned the whole concept. Some clients have gone
    behind me and edited the site themselves and made it look like a site built
    with frontpage complete with the silly animated gifs of burning torches,
    opening and closing doors, and blinking text. Let's not forget the animated
    envelopes for email!
     
    I am switching gears and going back to hand coded sites with the addition of
    mobile versions built with Jquery mobile. It is nice to have the CMS in my
    toolbox, but I am not actively seeking work using Joomla. I am also teaching
    myself to create apps for mobile devices as I believe the mobile web is the
    future. With the advent of social networking such as twitter where you have
    a limit of 140 characters, people are not so interested in large websites.
    With short attention spans, people just want a "sound byte". I am not saying
    that a conventional website is obsolete, it just is not the current trend in
    my opinion.
