This is my code in controller's action

            {
                echo CHtml::tag('option',array('value' => $id),CHtml::encode($value),true);
            }

If you're trying to have a specific option selected, you need to make use of the selected html attribute. i.e:

foreach($data as $id => $value) {
    if (condition)
        echo CHtml::tag('option',array('value' => $id, 'selected' => 'selected'),CHtml::encode($value),true);
    else
        echo CHtml::tag('option',array('value' => $id),CHtml::encode($value),true);
}

}

I need all the options to be selected,and i already tried your code too ...

Oh, so it's a multi select dropdown?

foreach($data as $id => $value) {
    echo CHtml::tag('option',array('value' => $id, 'selected' => 'selected'),CHtml::encode($value),true);
}

this is my code in view

          <?php  echo         form->listBox($model,'hobbies',CHtml::listData(hobbies::model()->findAllByAttributes(array('ID'=>$model->cat_id)),'hob_ID','hob_name'),
           array( 'multiple'=>'multiple',
               ));
            ?>

and i used this in javascript

$('#hobbies').select2({
     height:'150px'
    });

See this: http://yiitest.dev.bezz.com.au/

That's just a simple select box with all items selected, with:

$data = array('john' => 'doe', 'alex' => 'bergman', 'josh' => 'smyth', 'sean' => 'norrish', 'adam' => 'kerr', 'sam' => 'gummer');
echo CHtml::openTag('select', array('multiple' => 'multiple', 'style' => 'width: 300px;'));

foreach($data as $id => $value) {
    echo CHtml::tag('option',array('value' => $id, 'selected' => 'selected'),CHtml::encode($value));
}

echo CHtml::closeTag('select');

And you can see it works. So if you're using select2 and it's not working, there's your problem. I'd suggest you read the select2 documentation to see if you can resolve the issue.
