Hi,
some weeks ago Carl gave me this useful hint (see below) for populating Select
elements. Works fine with Select elements. Now I tried to adopt this for my
ComboBox but failed (just think of the example below being a ComboBox instead
of a Select): The result is that when I call the edit action in my Catalyst
controller, the genre saved in the recordset is displayed in the genres_text
part of the ComboBox - even if the genre would be available in genres_select.
Do I have to handle ComboBoxes in another way than Selects to populate them?
