+--- Thread: Clearing a select box after form submit. (/showthread.php?tid=1111)
Clearing a select box after form submit. - BrandenM - 02-12-2015
Code:
<select class="form-control" id="project_type" name="project_type">
<option value="">Select..</option>
<?php foreach ($project_types as $value): ?>
<option value="<?= $value['PROJTYP_CODE'] ?>" <?= set_select('project_type', $value['PROJTYP_CODE']); ?>><?= $value['PROJTYP_CODE'].' - '.$value['PROJTYP_DSC'] ?></option>
<?php endforeach ?>
</select>I have a select box that I am dynamically creating options for with php and repopulating the input with CI's set_select().
Everything works as expected but when I try to clear the form, the repopulated option acts as the selectedIndex ( as it should ) and I can't reset the input to the top option. I've tried a couple solutions with jQuery but had no luck.
Has any one else ran into this issue? if so how did you handle it?

In jQuery, you would just use $('#project_type').prop('selectedIndex', 0);

PHP Code:
<select name="gift_list]">
<option value="0" <?= set_select('gift_list', '0') ?>>Select...</option>
