CakePHP form helper problem with date for editing

I'm quite newbie in CakePHP, I've tried to create a form with form helper on a date field

echo $this->Form->input('Item.date');

yes, works fine (I'm using CakePHP v1.3.3) for input/add new record but when I try using it on edit page it does nothing. here's the code

echo $this->Form->input('Item.date', array("value"=>$rs['Item']['date']));

it still display listbox without retrieving the value from desired table. Any help appreciated, sorry for my english..

you shouldnt use inline params for default values. pass them down from the controller:

see "default-values"

I've found the answer, using selected option:

echo $this->Form->input('Item.date', array('selected'=>$rs['Item']['date']));
