How do you maintain the selected option on a select box in edit view, when I am using a callback. The code I am using below is:



function colour_callback()
{
return '<select name="colour" id="colour">
<option value="null">Please select</option>
<option value="Beige">Beige</option>
<option value="Black">Black</option>
<option value="Blue">Blue</option>
</select>
';
}



Thanks.

function colour_callback($value = '')
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$options = array('' => 'Please select', 'Beige' => 'Beige' , 'Black' => 'Black', 'Blue' => 'Blue');
return form_dropdown('colour', $options, $value,"id='color'");
}


P.S. Please add the code tags when you add code (php/javascript/html or whatever) the next time: [attachment=117:tag-code.png]. Thank you
