How can I get the date values in the pull-down menus to look better? In the playdates, as provided in the assignment, for the start-dates and end-dates - the pull-down arrow "steps-on" the right end of the value field. For example - if the day-of-the-month is 23, you will see a 2, followed by about 80% of the three followed by the pull-down arrow.

I implemented the same approach for my add a child - born_on field, using the date_select helper. I have tried a lot of combinations of parameters, but no luck getting some "breathing room" between the value and the pull-down.

Could you clarify what is supposed to go in the README? I assume our answer to our choice of the two questions, but what else? Also, at one time, I saw a check-list for being done, but I can't find it now. Where can I read it?

I am having a small problem with the last test. Everything else is working, although I am sure I can improve my style. The test first asks for user 2 and user 4. In my system, after adding all the migrations, user with id of 4 is bob@example.com, with null first_name and null last_name.

The test is expecting me to deliver ["Harold", "Naomi"] Of course I fail.

What could be going on?

If I get rake test:units to run successfully with no failures, does that mean I have the right answers for the quiz ? :-)

I remember you mentioning sample data that could be loaded into the database. Where is it?

I see that the invitations table in the schema has an FK invitee_id
Since there is no Invitee - Is that meant to be a User or a Child (through users) ?

Any advice on how to get started? The Agile Web book is pretty hefty and their examples are all wound around their own application. What chapters are best to read and is there something simple to get a MySQL example running ?
