I think if your list is less than six items or so, htmlform will default to checkbox. You should be able to override the defaults for specific fields when you call render_form()

Code:

var $validation = array(
        '{field name}' => array(
            'label' => 'Pick a number',
            'type' => 'dropdown',
            'list'=>array('1'=>'one','2'=>'Two')
        )
    );

Then in the view:

Code:

${model name}->render_form($validation);

Is that what you mean?
