Hi gys in the CI documentation they had given a clear document for re-populating the form data after the submit button is pressed to all input types (form)
in Form Validation section except the SELECT, CHECKBOX & RADIO options. if any one knows how to repopulate the data for the SELECT option / RADIO/CHECKBOX just reply me.

Thanx in advance for your golden reply.....

use the the "form_helper"

Code:
&lt;?=form_radio(array('name'=>'radio1','id'=>'radio1_y', 'value'=>'y', 'checked'=>set_radio('radio1', 'y', TRUE)));?&gt;

&lt;?=form_radio(array('name'=>'radio1','id'=>'radio1_n', 'value'=>'n', 'checked'=>set_radio('radio1', 'n')));?&gt;

&lt;?=form_checkbox(array('name'=>'chk1','id'=>'chk1', 'value'=>'n', 'checked'=>set_checkbox('chk1', 'n')));?&gt;

there are examples here:

Hi thanx 4 the reply,

i cant get wat u r trying to say,

my problem is ....

consider the situation

1. open form
2. insert a text box named "txtname"
3. insert a combo box named "country"
- India
- Australia
- UK
- Srilanka
4. insert a radio option for "gender"
- Male
- Female
5. insert a check box for "items"
- Mobile
- Laptop
6. insert a submit button
7. close form

After creating the above said form,

when i press submit button

it has to validate the POST data

if some datas are invalid

then it should show error, [ I M GETTING ERROR ]

after displaying the error, the old data which was entered in the text box is

displaying using the set_value() function

but i m not getting the re populated value for

combo box, radio option and the check box.

just send me a code where the things are working properly....

Thanx 4 the reply...

I got to your post while searching for something and maybe it's too late
to answer now but just in case:

"set_select" and "set_checkbox" in you view-file does not work because you
didn't set the rules for that element in your controller.

I am suggesting the use of javascript to repolulate a form instead the use of the validation library.

I have created jquery plugin for it. If anyone intrested just contact me.
