as the docs Charlie has posted say, the value must be a space, not an
empty string:
Please select...
now required="yes" should work in your cfselect.

thanks Jason, although this doesnt seem to work my end. i copied and pasted the
code into the form...the combo is empty at first which is great, but when i
click on the submit button without selecting anything in the combo it doesnt
show me the message "Please select a Sample Type to continue."
Note the initial empty . Also, note that you only need 1 set of
enclosing tags.

i understand that it can be done by other validation means but have lots of

Richard,
Let me see your entire CFSELECT statement and we should be able to figure
out how to get the empty First Option to work for you. It is entirely
possible to do what you're trying to do.

There are other ways around it. The responses are the correct route for

thanks for your replies, although the problem with having an empty element or

This is just how dropdowns work. You need to add a blank element at the
beginning. I usually do it manually like this:

RE: drop down box
A clunky way of doing this is to use CFIF in your option values:
Like:
<cfoutput query="getdetails">
<p>Status:
<select name="#pol_status#"
size="1">
<option value="All" <CFIF
#pol_status# eq
15 matches
