DISREGARD / CANT DELETE A POST?? | form_dropdown selected working but not showing as selected in view to user. - El Forum - 06-20-2012

SEEMS TO BE WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN??? PLEASE DISREGARD OR DELETE POST.
In my view I build a dropdown via:
Code:
<?php
$selected = ($this->form_validation->set_value('company')?$this->form_validation->set_value('company'):$company);
echo form_dropdown('company', $company_drop, $selected);
?>Which generates the correct <select> with the correct option selected in the html markup it generates.
Code:
<select name="company">
<option value="">Select Company</option>
<option selected="selected" value="3">Company 3</option>
<option value="2">Company 2</option>
<option value="1">Company 1</option>
</select>The issue is that even though Company 3 option has the selected="selected" it displays as if nothing is marked as selected so it shows the first option. Since this is for an edit data view I need the user to see what the selected item is.
Please let me know if this is not clear.
Thanks!

this normally a browser issue, try ctrl-f5, if that fixes is, then you might have to set headers not to cache the page....
