I just found this posted by a user in the LiveDocs and it works great!
What you need to do is to edit the javascript that the CF server writes so that
it also checks for a null value (your value="" part of your first option item).
This is a simple code change in a javascript template file. Edit this file:
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\CFIDE\scripts\cfform.js
Inside this file, modify line #73 this way:
ORIGINAL:
else if (obj_type == "SELECT")
{
for (i=0; i < obj.length; i++)
{
if (obj.options[i].selected)
return true;
}
return false;
}
MODIFIED:
else if (obj_type == "SELECT")
{
for (i=0; i < obj.length; i++)
{
if (obj.options[i].selected && obj.options[i].value != "")
return true;
}
return false;
}
You may need to restart your coldfusion service, but otherwise this will work
with the standard required="yes" method in your cfselect tag.
