Extend the helper this way:
1. Create a file called myhtml.php on your app/views/helpers directory.
2. Have its contents be something like the following. I'm overriding method
selectTag as in your example, with some small changes, like... PLEASE USE
BRACES! :)
<?php
loadHelper('html');
class MyhtmlHelper extends HtmlHelper
{
function selectTag($fieldName, $optionElements, $selected = null,
$selectAttr = array(), $optionAttr = null, $showEmpty = true, $return =
false)
{
if (!$selected)
{
$selected = parent::tagValue($fieldName);
}
return parent::setFormTag($fieldName, $optionElements,
$selected, $selectAttr, $optionAttr, $showEmpty, $return);
}
}
?>
So you see whenever you need to call cake's html helper you just do
parent::method()
3. Then on your controllers add the helper:
var $helpers = array ( 'Myhtml' );
4. And use it on your views:
$myhtml->selectTag(...)
-MI

BAKE ON!
