pop up a javascript box like the inline required=yes feature does. What it
does is loads a blank page with a plain gray box and it has your message.

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
I believe if you use format=xml you can fix the default behavior for
required select boxes by editing the XSL sheet. Although admittedly if
you're talking about an older form which already has an html table (or
other html markup) built around the input elements, then you have to
rewrite the whole

Hi All,
I NEVER use CFFORM, but I've taken over a site that does *sigh* ;-)
Any idea why this code would NOT throw a typical CFFORM JavaScript alert
when the user does not select anything?
