form_dropdown does not echo selected value from database

[eluser]adamp1[/eluser]
The third value will select the option in the dropdown which has the matching 'value'. So for this to work your $data['states'] array must be in the form

Code:

array('New York' => 'New York', 'Another State' => 'Another State');

Is that the format $this->model->get_states() returns its results as?
