Chtml::dropdownlist Specific Option

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi

Is there way to style a specific generated option using CHtml::dropDownList ?

I want to achieve something like that


<select name="a_name" id="an_id">

<option value="1" class="marked">label 1</option>

<option value="2">label 2</option>

<option value="3"  class="marked">label 3</option>

<option value="4">label 4</option>

</select>

Thanks

According to the code you can set it within the htmlOptions array().

The structure should be like:




 $htmlOptions = array(

   'options' => array(

     '<keyOfTheEntryMostlyThePk>' => array(

       'class' => 'your desired class'

     ');

   )

 );

You can find the entire code in CHtml::listOptions(); Here is an excerpt, take a look at the last few lines starting with "if(isset($options[$key]))"




foreach($listData as $key=>$value)

		{

			if(is_array($value))

			{

				$content.='<optgroup label="'.($raw?$key : self::encode($key))."\">\n";

				$dummy=array('options'=>$options);

				if(isset($htmlOptions['encode']))

					$dummy['encode']=$htmlOptions['encode'];

				$content.=self::listOptions($selection,$value,$dummy);

				$content.='</optgroup>'."\n";

			}

			else

			{

				$attributes=array('value'=>(string)$key,'encode'=>!$raw);

				if(!is_array($selection) && !strcmp($key,$selection) || is_array($selection) && in_array($key,$selection))

					$attributes['selected']='selected';

				if(isset($options[$key]))

					$attributes=array_merge($attributes,$options[$key]);

				$content.=self::tag('option',$attributes,$raw?(string)$value : self::encode((string)$value))."\n";

			}

		}

I did not tested the code, I just took a quick look at the code, so sorry if I missed something :)

Thanks!

If this is the only Yii way then another way is using pure php to generate html dropdownlist or extends the Chtml::dropdownlist to do this :)
