Hidden field does not get id - El Forum - 01-04-2011

Long time troller first time poster.
Using the form gen lib and I am having an issue, the hidden field has no ID attr.
Any reason or is there an issue, or work around for this?
Thx.

Hi flmike,
this is a limittation of the CI form_hidden function not of formgenlib.
In order to have id attribute in your hidden field you have to extends your form helper (http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/129280/)
Code:
if ( ! function_exists('form_hidden'))
{
function form_hidden($name, $value = '', $id = false)
{
if ( ! is_array($name))
{
return '<input type="hidden" id="'.($id ? $id : $name).'" name="'.$name.'" value="'.form_prep($value).'" />';
}
$form = '';
foreach ($name as $name => $value)
{
$form .= "\n";
$form .= '<input type="hidden" id="'.($id ? $id : $name).'" name="'.$name.'" value="'.form_prep($value).'" />';
}
return $form;
}
}Now, formgenlib hidden fields work like a charm.
There is a dedicated forum for formgenlib: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/107861/
