Re: CGI.pm popup_menu default problem

Your problem is most likely in a previous line where you are appending your $html var. Why are you doing this anyway? Oh well, your business. But an unclean HTML tag may be causing you problems since this looks OK. Does anyone else see a problem? This looks like a contextual HTML interpreter error due to bad HTML tags .

I think AgentM is right. I went to test this code: `use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); my $html .= popup_menu( -name=>'col_id', -values=>[1,2], -default=>2, -labels=>{1=>'Ali',2=>'Baba'}, ); print $html;` [download] And here is the output I got: `<SELECT NAME="col_id"> <OPTION VALUE="1">Ali <OPTION SELECTED VALUE="2">Baba </SELECT>` [download] I assume this is what you wanted so the error may not be in the bit of code you provided.

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $html .= popup_menu(
          -name=>'col_id',
          -values=>[1,2],
          -default=>2, 
          -labels=>{1=>'Ali',2=>'Baba'},
        );
print $html;

And here is the output I got:

<SELECT NAME="col_id">
<OPTION  VALUE="1">Ali
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="2">Baba
</SELECT>
