When i select value from drop down list, and I submit form, i want my drop down list to have selected value, not to be on default value again. I try like this, but not working:
<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'code', $countriesIssuedList, array('name'=>'countriesIssued'), $select = array($_POST['countriesIssued']));?> Also i would like to add a first value to be default, not from db, i want to do it in the code like this, array('empty'=>'--Select country--') but not working.
Thanks
If you must change the name of your dropdownList you must manually set the value of code to $_POST['countriesIssued'] in your controller/view. As for the default, prompt is used to set this.
<?php if(!$model->code) $model->code=$_POST['countriesIssued'];?> <?php echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'code', $countriesIssuedList, array( 'name'=>'countriesIssued','prompt'=>'--Select country--' ));?> The second parameter (currently 'code') must be a key in this array: $countriesIssuedList
See for example here.
"Also i would like to add a first value to be default" ... perhaps you can use array_merge()?
