How can I make it keep the option selected when the form is re-displayed?

Use activeDropdownList and attach it to a model:

CHtml::activeDropdownList($model, $attribute)

I think…

I dnt think that’s the correct method. Can anyone else advise?

datashaman is right! ActiveDropDOwnList is the way you must go! Just check the documentation:

ActiveDropDownList

5

Or do this:




CHtml::dropDownList('name', $_REQUEST['name'])

if you don’t use a model. That way you can also define defaults on your form by adding them as query parameters :)
