id in form_dropdown() - El Forum - 10-10-2008

[eluser]Mitja B.[/eluser]

Code:
form_dropdown('categoryId', $options)

is it possible to use id in form_dropdown() like
<select name="select1" id="select1">

or just name="".

You could add id through the 4th parameter.

Code:
echo form_dropdown('categoryId', $options, 'default', 'id="categoryId");

You can, just pass a string of additional parameters to the function as it's 4th parameter.

Code:
echo form_dropdown('shirts', $options, 'large', 'id = "select1"');

What you can't have is an individual id on each option, you would need to extend the helper to achieve that.

Thx for fast reply.

What about to add first parameter of option like <option value="">Select</option>. is this possible to add?

If you're trying to add an id to an <option>, then as Inparo said, that's not possible without modifying the helper.
