I have created a drop down category menu in RSForm Pro. I have set Required to 'YES'

The items in the menu are site categories... eg

Choose a Category
Adult Shopping
Antiques and Collectables
Arts and Crafts

Problem is the first item is 'Choose a Category' and even if someone does not actually choose a category and leaves it on 'Choose a Category' the form still considers it valid.

How do I ensure that someone must choose an actual category? (in other words make 'Choose a Category' invalid?

Thanks

Is it versions PRO ?

If yes i mean the solution is :
into the select list value insert a [C] at the default value.

And insert your \"Choose a Category\" into description or caption.

Thank you for your reply

Yes it is the PRO version.

However in your suggestion you mention the Default Value being set to [C]

But there is no Default Value box in the Drop Down Menu Parameters?

We are having the same problem. We upgraded from the excellent RS-Forms basic edition to the Pro edition. But the form-editor is far less useful than the basic version!

We can't get validation to work for drop-downs, and the online user-guide does NOT have a section for drop-downs!!!

Please please, fix this asap Thanks!

Ok, I got it to work. You simply make the first option have no value. So, the drop-downs are \"value|name\" (one per line) -- so for the first line you just put \"|Choose a Category\" -- just put a pipe | before the name. So for my drop down, I have:

Thank you! This helped me!

Hello,

Does anyone know how to make a new text field pop up when a specific option is chosen from the dropdown? For example, If someone chooses "Other" from the dropdown, I want a new text field to show up so they can write in some text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ok that is nice,
but on top of that I'd like that every dropdown item has a price tag as I have multiple dropdowns so that custumer can set up a custom package for our services and at the end he knows total price and also he gets an PDF and email offer in his mail after submision.

Can any one help me with this code please.

Is this syntax still valid for Pro - it doesnt seem to work for me.

OOPS was clicking save in the Joomla instead of Update in the compoennt field itself so was not saving this.

hahaha calvin9 i just made the same mistake.... glad you made it first
