Hi David,

Try something like

 

$option = $session->make_element( "option", value=>”value1”, selected=>"selected" );

 

But obviously only for the value you specifically want.

Subject: [EP-tech] Simple(?) eprints make_element question

 

Hi List,

                I’m doing some work on a theme for our new repository, and I’m adding a <select> drop down form. I’m using:

 

 

my $select = $session->make_element( 'select', name=>"select_name”);

 

and

 

my $option = $session->make_element( 'option', value=>"value1");

 

to get:

 

<select name="select_name">

<option value="value1">value1</option>

<option value="value2">value2</option>

</select>

 

And I’d like to be able to add a ‘selected’ to one of the options.  So it renders like this:

 

<select name="select_name">

<option value="value1" selected>value1</option>

<option value="value2">value2</option>

</select>

 


Any ideas?

 

Thanks,
