Displaying date field in menu using HTML DB

Question

How do I display a date field in HTML DB as drop down. I have the below HTML code which needs to be represented in HTML DB.
The display on the page should be like
Enter Start Date : "Month" "Day of the Month" "Year".
The above values in quotes should be displayed as enterable fields with LOVs.
Any help would be greately appreciated.
<td colspan="3">Select a Date Range for the Report</td>
</tr>

<label>
<input type="radio" name="selectDateType" value="mdy">
(Month Day, Year)</label></td>

I'm not sure why you would do it the way you have it implemented in 3 select lists.
Why not use a Item Type of Date Picker, and let the user use the pop-up Date Picker to select the date.
You code has some fatal flaws:
1) You can't see any data before 2000
2) You can't see any data past 2010 (probably not an issue now)
3) It's possible to specify February 31 as a date
Using the built-in Date Item type will eliminate these issues and at the same time, make your UI more streamlined.
