Hello, I have a strange behavior and don't know why.

If I override attributes from AcitveRecord object like below:

  def end_date=(date)
    date = date.to_date unless date.blank?
    write_attribute(:end_date,date)
  end

  def end_date
    date = read_attribute(:end_date)
    I18n.localize(date) if date.present?
  end

Everything will work fine but when I try call text_field in a form_for
block I get the database value and ignore end_date getter.

<%= f.text_field :end_date, :class=>"date", :size=>"10" %>

The text_field will be filled with 2008-12-10 (mysql date) instead of
10/12/2008 ( I18n localized)

Anyone know why we get this behavior?
