Returns a set of select tags (one for hour, minute and optionally second) pre-selected for accessing a specified time-based attribute (identified by method) on an object assigned to the template (identified by object). You can include the seconds with :include_seconds.

Examples

# Creates a time select tag that, when POSTed, will be stored in the post variable in the sunrise attribute
time_select("post", "sunrise")

# Creates a time select tag that, when POSTed, will be stored in the order variable in the submitted attribute
time_select("order", "submitted")

# Creates a time select tag that, when POSTed, will be stored in the mail variable in the sent_at attribute
time_select("mail", "sent_at")

# Creates a time select tag with a seconds field that, when POSTed, will be stored in the post variables in
# the sunrise attribute.
time_select("post", "start_time", :include_seconds => true)

# Creates a time select tag with a seconds field that, when POSTed, will be stored in the entry variables in
# the submission_time attribute.
time_select("entry", "submission_time", :include_seconds => true)

# You can set the :minute_step to 15 which will give you: 00, 15, 30 and 45.
time_select 'game', 'game_time', {:minute_step => 15}

The selects are prepared for multi-parameter assignment to an Active Record object.

Note: If the day is not included as an option but the month is, the day will be set to the 1st to ensure that all month choices are valid.
