Can't get set_select() to work

I must say that I'm really impressed by the response times, thanks!

I have now printed the form-value for role (controller side) and it is the chosen id (role['id']), which is unsigned integers. There is only one form in the view so there should not be a problem regardin duplicate names etc.

I guess it is possible to solve the problem by parsing the $_POST @ controller and then feed the proper data to the view and then let the view generate a select-tag from that (manually), but it does not feel like the CI-way..

All suggestions are welcome!
