form_dropdown() with set_select()

Thats all well and good, but what if you wish to default to a certain option before the form is submitted?

EDIT

Ignore me im dumb and lazy, i was thinking it would auto do it when instead we should of course do it like so

Code:

form_dropdown('dropDown', $array,($this->input->post('formElement') ? $this->input->post('formElement') : $defaultValue))
