Well, I don't think it's that much work. If you were doing this the old way it would be way more work than even that.

You don't have to hack it, anyway. Just write your own drop-down method. As long as it is named input_mymethod, and available, you can write your own code. You can easily write it to simply add the first row to the list, then pass everything back to the HTMLForm class.[/quote]

I am trying to get it done adding a new input type:

Code:

function input_mydropdown($object, $field, $value, $options)
{
    array_unshift($options['list'], array( 0 => '-- Select --'));
    return HTMLForm::_input_dropdown($object, $field, $value, $options);
}

But, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in C:\webs\xampp\htdocs\grera\application\datamapper\htmlform.php on line 571
