Not 100% sure it works when you go directly to html->select but I know
it works for input.
There is the manual way:
$form->input('Modelname.fieldname', array(
'type'=>'select',
'options'=>$list,
'value'=>$your_selected_value
));
But the magic of Cake can do for you is where I might be wrong on the
syntax:
$this->set('fielnames',$this->Modelname->getlist
(null,'id',null,'{n}.id','{n}.name');
---
$form->input('Modelname.fieldname', array(
'type'=>'select'
));
That is: if you set a view variable to the same as your fieldname OR
the fieldname in plural (not sure there) Cake should pick up the
"vaule" from $this->data['Modelname']['fieldname'] and the "options"
from the set variable.
Try it, but please check for it in the manual or in some previous
thread here.
