set_value() problems

[eluser]solid9[/eluser]
nevermind my codes above I'm sure it's error,
but try to review the manual,
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...elper.html

for dropdown you don't need to use set_value() it has it's own.
example:

Code:

$options = array(
                  'small'  => 'Small Shirt',
                  'med'    => 'Medium Shirt',
                  'large'   => 'Large Shirt',
                  'xlarge' => 'Extra Large Shirt',
                );

$shirts_on_sale = array('small', 'large');

echo form_dropdown('shirts', $options, 'large');
