[solved]How to validate CForm::dropdownlist

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

according to input-element

i used CForm::dropdownlist




<select name="MyForm[gender]" id="MyForm_gender">

<option value="0">Gender</option>

<option value="male">Male</option>

<option value="female">Female</option>

</select>

because it always selected by default with "0" value (not empty).

how i can validate with rules?

thanks

thanks for your suggestion

is there a validation that except "0" as default value.

i mean if its value is not "0", it means not empty.

Why not user the prompt element command in your dropdown list call. That way there is no value attached to default




'gender'=>array(

    'type'=>'dropdownlist',

    'prompt'=>'Please select gender:',

    

 	... rest of your stuff

,

or




<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,'gender', array('0'=>'Male', '1'=>'Female'), array('prompt'=>'Please Select')); ?>

it works…

thanks angelo.
