RE: [PEAR] Quick_form Select Defaults

I printed out the values and saw that it was exactly what I wanted, the value, not the text. So it was the correct value. But setting the defaults didn't work. I did find that if i did $sel =& $activityForm->addElement(select','Area','Activity Area:',$areas); //$areas is my array of values and names $defaults['Area']=$default_val; $sel->setSelected($defaults['Area']); // additional fields created and defaults saved into $defaults $activityForm->setDefaults($defaults); It works suddenly. Bug in Quick_forms?? Note the fact that I am specifically using what I set in Defaults to do it so that I could test if i was using the right value a second way(even after echoing the value to check).
