[FIXED] How to defining id to a select tag in cakephp?

Issue

My cakephp code for making a select tag is

<?php echo $this->Form->select('User.country_id',array($countries),null,array('id'=>'selection','empty'=>null,'label'=>false,'style'=>'width:231px'));?>

Here I defined id='selection' but when I inspect this dropdown box in browser it is showing id='UserCountryId'. How is that happening? My jquery and javascript is not working because of this.

Solution

if u need Id use cake php syntax

<?php
echo $this->Form->input('User.country_id', array(
    'type'=>'select, 
    'id'=>'selection',
    'style'=>'width:231px'
));
?>

your jquery and javascript will work try this
