void HTML_QuickForm_hierselect::setOptions ( array $options )

Description

Parameter

array $options

Array of options for the elements, having the following structure:


array(
  // options for the first element
  array(
    'key_1' => 'value 1',
    'key_2' => 'value 2',
    ...
    'key_N' => 'value N',
  ),
  // options for the second element
  array(
    'key_1' => array(
      'key_1_1' => 'value 1.1',
      'key_1_2' => 'value 1.2',
      ...
      'key_1_M1' => 'value 1.M1'
    ),
    'key_2' => array(
      'key_2_1' => 'value 2.1',
      'key_2_2' => 'value 2.2',
      ...
      'key_2_M2' => 'value 2.M2'
    ),
    ...
    'key_N' => array(
      'key_N_1' => 'value N.1',
      'key_N_2' => 'value N.2',
      ...
      'key_N_MN' => 'value N.MN'
    )
  )
  // options for further elements
  ...
)
The options for subsequent elements should have keys for all options of the previous elements. Having a select without options is invalid HTML and will break hierselect's JavaScript. See also Bug #5218.
