Can anyone explain how I can validate a dropdown box? Top option is "Choose One". I'd like to make sure an option is chosen. I do not know Javascript but I can cut and paste with the best of them.

Also, I'd like a pony.

Thanks!

kamcl..did you happen to get this figured out? I'd like to know the same thing..

Thanks,
Bob

Have you tried the 'required' attribute on the field?

Also, there are lots of articles that describe how to do this in Javascript, here is one:

lab.artlung.com/validate-checkbox/

Here is the solution :

1/- First go to the properties tab of your form, and under "layout" ---> "css and javascript" put the following code:

</code>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkTheBox(TheNameOfYourForm) {
if (document.getElementById('TheNameofYourDropDownBox').options[0] .selected)
{
alert('Please make a choice !');
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
</script>
</code>

explanations for this script:
replace "TheNameOfYourForm" by the Name of your form
replace "TheNameofYourDropDownBox" by the Name of your dropdown box
.options[0] .selected means that your option "Choose One" is the only one selected for the moment

2/- Finally click on fields tab and edit your submit button and put the following code under the additional attributs :

<code>
onclick="return checkTheBox('TheNameofYourDropDownBox');"
</code>

That's all folks !

This is a MUCH easier solution.
