Question

i am trying to make a dropdown , but i don’t want i to be visible for now , here is the code.

<div class="row">
    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'lang_id'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->dropdownlist($model,'lang_id',CHtml::listData(Lang::model()->findAll(), 'id', 'name')); ?>
    <?php echo $form->error($model,'lang_id'); ?>
</div>

How do i make this type = 'hidden' or something like that ?

In other words , i want to keep the field but i don’t want it to be shown.

Also, you can define style attribute of your dropDownList.

public static string dropDownList(string $name, string $select, array $data, array $htmlOptions=array ( ))

You can try with:

<div class="row">
    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'lang_id'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,'lang_id',CHtml::listData(Lang::model()->findAll(), 'id', 'name'), array('style' => 'display: none'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->error($model,'lang_id'); ?>
</div>
