+1.  The point of the three-select method for dates is to enforce an 
easily-parsable format for the date.  But it's kindof an obsolete 
method, because regexes have become common and well-supported and some 
scripting languages have date formatting/validating functions built in. 
  Give your users a hint of the expected format, e.g. mm/dd/yy in the 
US, let them type it in and validate it server-side.  Use ajax if you 
like, and/or a calendar date picker widget.
