Setting the default value of an input. - El Forum - 09-23-2009
[eluser]ElShotte[/eluser]
I have 4 fields that need to have a default value of 0. Naturally, their value is set to set_value('blah'). So I was thinking, if statements like so:
$field = 0;
if (isset($this->input->post('field'))) {
$ssincome = $this->input->post('field');
}
and set the value of the input to $field, but then for some reason when I load the page, it looks as if the CSS is not loaded because it is completely lacking style.
Any ideas? I've also checked this:
if (isset(set_value('pension'))) { $pension = set_value('pension'); }
But the truth is, what I really want to do is require only one of the 4 fields, so technically my method wouldn't be perfect cause the user could just leave the 4 zeros and the form would still go through = bad. Time to break out the CI manual again.
