I am generating options for my dropdown using
// view.php
foreach ($plants as $row):
$options[$row->plant_id] = $row->plant_name;
endforeach;
and then lower in the HTML part of view.php
//view.php
$js = 'onChange = "plantDateDelete(\'/size/get_dates_for_plant/\'+this.value);"';
echo form_dropdown('plant_id', $options, 'Select', $js);
The dropdown show options OK, but it does NOT show 'Select' as the "selected"/default value. It shows up with the first option of the array instead.
The HTML source also shows 'Select' in form_dropdown
was ignored.
I really need this dropdown to show up with 'Select' as default so as to force the user to activate the onChange
function.
Any idea what is going on here or how to solve this issue?
