Well no offense, think about what you just stated.
Using the Required="Yes" function means You REQUIRE
a value thus the field will never be NULL.
Thus why would you want a NULL value or NOT Select
an item in the select.
If you want a case where a user does not have to select
a field within the select simply use: Required="No"
The Required="Yes" allows a JavaScript message to display
when the USER has not selected anything from that box.
I think it is useful given the situation.

Subject: cfselect required='yes' is useless....
<cfselect>
What were they thinking. Pardon me if I am just being ignorant but the
"Required='yes'" attribute is completely useless. When the query values are
inserted there is no way to default the select box to null, therefore there
is no way to "not" select a value...
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
