form field not updating

[eluser]deongee[/eluser]
The account_id is passed from another page.

Code:

<span ><a href="&lt;?php echo $config['dash_base_url'].'manage/edit/'.$account-&gt;account_id ?&gt;"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></span>
</div>

When the page loads it passes the account_id variable url to edit.php view page.


This is the only field that is not updating, All the other fields are updating okay.

Code:

<?php
echo form_label('Account ID', 'account_id');
echo '<span  color:#C40909;">'.form_error('account_id',' *');  
echo form_input('account_id', set_value('account_id', $faccount_id['value']),'style="width: 388px;"'); '</span>'
