api的joomla列表

Question

how do I define selected in joomla list using the api? If I try to use the following snippet won't work.

JHTML::_('select.genericlist', $options, 'jform[faculty]', array('class' => 'nourritures', 'option.attr' => 'data', 'selected'=>  $actual_record));

Answer 1

it's "list.select" not "selected":
