My dropdown always lists all values all are visible every time.
view
<label>Choose Employees</label>
<select name="select_employee[]" multiple="multiple">
<option disabled="disabled" selected>Select</option>
<? foreach ($employee->result() as $var)
{?>
<option value="<?echo $var->emp_id;?>"><?echo $var->emp_name;?></option>
<?}?>
</select>
This is the permanent view. Is this a css issue..? Removing the array symbol it exists proper view..but I want to keep it as an array.
initially vie this way
You have multiple="multiple"
in your code, which makes all the options visible because your user needs to be able to select more than one option.
