hi
we want to have a drop down box on a form that has attribute 'required' and a
message that displays if no value is select when the form is submitted
however, using cfselect automatically makes the first option selected, but we
want the user to physically select an option

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

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.

the entire select works looks like this:
cfset lookupOptionsArray = listtoarray(Blood,DNA,Other) /
cfselect name=sampleType size=1 multiple=no style=width:200px
cfloop index=i from=1 to=#arraylen(lookupOptionsArray)#
option value=cfoutput#lookupOptionsArray[i]#/cfoutput
Note the initial empty option. Also, note that you only need 1 set of
enclosing cfoutput tags.
cfset lookupOptionsArray = listtoarray(Blood,DNA,Other) /
cfselect name=sampleType size=1 multiple=no style=width:200px
required=yes message=Please select a Sample Type to continue.

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.
from the docs:
Note: This attribute has no effect if you omit the size attribute or set it
to 1, because the browser always submits the displayed item. You can work
around this issue: format forms by having an initial option tag with value=
(notice the space character between the quotation
Seems like it. Do you have any custom onSubmit stuff in JS that might be
interfering with the CFFORM processing?

thanks for both your help, i will continue to work out why this is not working
on my system, if it is working your end that it has to be something to do with
my code!!!
thanks again for your help

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

thanks for your replies, although the problem with having an empty element or
an element saying 'Select one of the following'
would cause the required=yes validation not to work as they would still be
valid options
is there no way to get the required=yes validation to work on these
Hi Folks,
I ran into an issue with a multiple select drop down box that has a list of
dates i.e. mm/dd/.
On my action page I have a cfquery that I would like to pass the list of dates
to like:
Mydates IN ('08/01/2008','08/02/2008',â¦)
In oracle I need to do something like: TO_DATE('08
I have CF component which supposed to populate the requirements and of
thwe selected program. I wrote the code but there is something wrong
cffunction name=updateProgramRequirements
cfparam name=form.program default=
cfquery name=programs datasource=HotBanana_Manager
SELECT id,
Well, what's the error you are getting?
You can't just barf the code like that and realistically expect an answer.
If one were inclined to copy and paste your code to try and run it they
couldn't because they don't have the database you're using (no, that's not
an invitation to send the DDL along
I already responded to the exact same post on CFCDev (which was completely
off topic for that list). I actually told him all of this, to limit the code
posted to only problem code, to actually explain what the error is, and that
you can't just say this doesn't work and paste five screens of code
having a problem passing values submitted in a drop down list box.
on my form page the user selects their choices from the drop down, the the
user can choose to edit these choices on the next page, their original
choices shoud appear on the edit page, which follows:
