I have a table with rows from a database, to that table I do a foreach like you normally would to get the rows. The picture is above.
Well my project needs to have action buttons for the rows on the table so I created check boxes (all went smooth). Now my problem is that when I hit the submit button when my form is fully filled out for some reason the button does nothing. I have used the form helper in other pages of my project with no problem. Now I am getting my first problem.
This is my view for the table:
<table id='waiting' class='display'>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>A Number</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Reason for visit</th>
<th>Comments</th>
<th>Aid Year</th>
<th>Staff Comments</th>
<th>Staff Member</th>
<th>Options</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($waiting as $row) { ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['id'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->encrypt->decode($row['anum']), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['first'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['last'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['reason'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['studentcomments'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['aidyear'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['counselorcomments'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></td>
<td>
<?php echo form_open('studentqueue_controller/counselorscreen'); ?>
<?php echo form_dropdown('namedrop', $names) ?></td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="options" value="start" <?php echo form_checkbox('options','start') ?>Start</input>
<input type="checkbox" name="options" value="stop" <?php echo form_checkbox('options','stop') ?>Incactive</input>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ; ?>
<?php echo form_submit('submit', 'Start Action'); ?>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
I start the form open in the loop as I need all the rows in table to have a action to them (start and terminate)
What am I missing here?
