Default drop down list

I am working on a form in which the user selects the date through drop down
list.( eg. day, month, year). Drop down list only allow 25 items in a list.
How can I do this?

If it were me, I would make 3 separate dropdowns. 1 for month, 1 for day, 1
for year...that is if you even NEED a year...you could probably type that
in.

Anne,

I think the point is, "how do you put 31 days in 25 spots." ;-)

Lolan,

You may have to opt for a user form with a date picker. I have an example
on my web page:
