Hi all..

I just wanted to let anyone else with similar problem know how I
solved this.

in view!
 <?php
       if($this->data['Content']['category_id'] != '')
       {
       $cont_cats = explode(",",$this->data['Content']['category_id']);
       }else{
       $cont_cats = '';
       }
       echo $form-
>input('category_id',array('size'=>'10','div'=>false,'label'=>false,'type'

=> 'select', 'multiple' => true,'options' =>

array($categories),'selected' =>$cont_cats));
        ?>

Now it is working as it should =)

Have fun, and thanks for all help!
-Tom
