Kohana & Form Helper - Default Value in Dropdown?

Your array should be set up like this: $x = array('a'=>'a', 'b'=>'b', 'c'=>'c') By setting the array the way you are doing it your keys are all numeric. If you want the keys to be numeric you would need to have a number for your default value: echo form::dropdown('test', $x, 2) Either one of these changes would be ok depending on how you want your application set up.

It uses the key of the array, not the value, to determine what default value to show.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
