[jQuery] Re: required that select input's option is anything other than default

[MorningZ]

why not use simple JavaScript?

  required: function(element) {
                                return element.selectedIndex > 0;
                        }

(Note: i don't use that plugin, but i assume returning "true" is "pass
validation")
