Submit Form - Drop down menu "required field" - NEED HELP......

[sinernational]

I need a drop down button to be  a required field. I am using formtomail but cannot seem to work out how to do this. Hope someone can help.

I have attatched 2 files showing what I need to achieve.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

You are attempting to use Javascript to check (so probably should be in the Javascript forum). While it can be useful you need to check in php as well.

 

Probably best to check the selectedIndex of the select drop down.

 

All the best

You could use somethign like this:

 

<form action="page.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form_id" id="form_id">
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
form_id = function()
{
if(document.getElementById('jurisdiction').value == '')
{
alert('Enter your text here.');
document.getElementById('jurisdiction').focus();
document.getElementById('jurisdiction').select();
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
document.getElementById('form_id').onsubmit = form_id;
</script>
// Form continues here

 

changing "form_id" for your form name and the alert to whatever you want it to be
