Subject: Getting a field value in a form with ruby

Hi guys. I have a form to submit an assessment for one of my web apps.
The model contains a datetime field called ends_at which is when the
assessment is supposed to end. Before, I had a datetime_select field for
this, but I put in a calendar popup to do the date for them. However, I
also need them to choose the time as well so this is initially what i
came up with

<%= date_field 'assessment', 'ends_at', :value => "Click here..."  %>
<%= time_select 'assessment', 'ends_at'%>

But unfortunately this replaces the date they selected with today's date
because it discards the first date field after it reads the time one.
Basically i want to know if there's a way to somehow combine the date
and the time fields in the form and perhaps pass them in a hidden field
to the controller. I don't know how to interact with the values inside
fields before they're submitted. Or if anyone has another suggestion on
how to make that work I'd take that too :) thanks alot!
