how about this:

<select>
<input value="">day</input>
<input value="1">01</input>
</select>

<select>
<input value="">month</input>
<input value="jan">January</input>
</select>

<select>
<input value="">year</input>
<input value="2002">2002</input>
</select>

There are ways to make a form accessible other than using <form>
