Okay, I'm having a weird problem. Dunno where to go look for the solution though.
I'm building an edit form that has several inputs: textboxes, textareas, some checkboxes and a set of radio inputs.
Now I want to prepopulate the edit form, which works great for the text bits, but I can't get the radio buttons to prepopulate.
Code:
if( empty($this->validation->error_string)) {
foreach ($fields as $field => $name) {
$this->validation->$field = $data['tut'][$field];
}
}
That's the code I use in my controller, it simply puts the values from the DB in if validation hasn't run yet.
Now I've changed the set_radio thingie (which doesn't work with prepopulated data, as it only looks at $_POST and not at $this->validation) with my own if:
Code:
<input type="radio" name="rankID" value="<?=$rank['rankID']?>" id="rank-<?=$rank['rankID']?>" <?php if($select_rank == $rank['rankID']) echo 'selected="selected" '; ?>/>
Now this works, I can see the selected="selected" code in my source code, it changes correctly when you submit the form but validation fails etc.
HOWEVER: it doesn't get selected in the form in the browser itself. Has anybody got any idea what could be causing this?
