How to hide the selected arraylist?

Question

The code that i use for arraylist and the way i code for hide the arraylist is like this

<?php 
    echo arraySelect($companies, 
                     'project_company', 
                     'type="hidden" 
                      class="text" 
                      size="1"', 
                      ($project->project_company=2), true);
?>

But when i test this code it doesn't show me the arraylist hidden, so can i know where the problem is and how to fix it?

arraySelect is just a dropdown list, what i want is just hide the dropdownlist, is the arraySelect code important affected can't hide the dropdown list? — newbie, Jan 28 '13 at 02:31
basing on information you provided - if you want to hide the arraySelect - just remove it from code. _If you ask a vague question, you’ll get a vague answer. But if you give us details and context, we can provide a useful answer._ — Peter, Jan 28 '13 at 02:34

If output of your function is something like:

<select type="hidden" name="foo">
   <option>bar</option>
   <option>bar</option>
   <option>bar</option>
</select>

it won't work as there is no type attribute for <select> HTML tags. type=hidden works for input's only.

You have to hide the dropbox using css:

<select name="foo" style="display: none;">
...
