form_dropdown and set_select

[eluser]ericrjones1[/eluser]
For the form_dropdown function you don't need to use the set_select function.

For the form_dropdown function use the following code as guidance.

Code:

echo form_dropdown('post_status', $status, set_value('post_status', 'published'), $js);

For this code, $status is an array passed from the controller. The third parameter should be the set_value function. The first parameter in the set_value function will pull the value of the dropdown from $this->input->post('post_status'), and the second is the default value.

For the form_multiselect function use the following code as guidance.

Code:

echo form_multiselect('post_tags[]', $tags, set_value('post_tags[]'), $input);

Same explanation as above, but with form_multiselect.
