How to style timezone_menu() - behnampmdg3 - 02-02-2015

Hi;

How can I add a class to the drop down created by timezone_menu()?

This doesn't seem right:

$this->data['timezones'] = timezone_menu('','form-control');

Thanks

Control styles are done using CSS styles.

How can I add id?

The code does look correct (the timezone function usage). Is there any output displayed?

Hard to know without seeing your timezone_menu() code. Like is it outputting HTML, using the form_dropdown() helper, or what?

But using CI's native form_dropdown(), it would be (just like the docs state) entering the custom id/class/other attributes in the 4th parameter.

Code:
echo form_dropdown('name_of_dropdown', $dropdown_value_array, $selected_value, 'id="my-id" class="some-class"');

timezone_menu('','form-control'); should generate something like:

Code:
<select name="timezones" class="form-control">

    <option value="UM12">(UTC -12:00) Baker/Howland Island</option>

    <!-- ... etc. -->

</select>

So you should be able to apply your desired styles to the form-control class.
