Re: [Phphtmllib-devel] form_select

[Walter A. B. I. <wab...@bu...>]

Hey the list is still alive :)

thanks for the email Winston.  I've actually been working hard on the
2.0 version of the libs the last few days.  I've been doing a lot of
work on the widgets, and have added a new CSSBuilder widget that lets
you build css on the fly.  
  Anyways, in reference to your question, it seems all you really want
is the ability to specify the size.  I can add that as another param.
right now the 2.0 (dev) interface looks like
function form_select($name, $options=array(), $selected="",
$multiple_flag=FALSE) 

I will add size before the $multiple_flag param if no one objects.

Walt

p.s. u can check out the latest version of the libs from cvs if you like
the 2.0 api is not 100% compatible w/ 1.x  There have been a LOT of
updates, changes.
