I find it works pretty well using TMPL_LOOP and an array of hashref's
from the db - I loop through the data array and set the 'Selected'
item before passing into the template, like so:
in the viewer module:
my $product_types = $self->dbh->selectall_arrayref("select * from
product_type where ONIX_Code like 'B%'", { Slice => {} });
if ($data->{ProductTypeID}) {
foreach my $row (@$product_types) {
$row->{Selected} = 'selected' if $row->{ProductTypeID} eq
$data->{ProductTypeID};
}
}
$template->params(product_types => $product_types);
in the template:
<select class="inputbox" name="ProductTypeID">
<TMPL_LOOP NAME="product_types">
<option value="<TMPL_VAR NAME="ProductTypeID">" <TMPL_VAR
NAME="Selected">><TMPL_VAR NAME="ONIX_Code"> : <TMPL_VAR
NAME="ProductType"></option>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</select>
<TMPL_VAR NAME="err_ProductTypeID">
