Body
<p>I would like to create a requirement that if nothing is selected from a drop down field in my contact form that a message will come up saying "Please choose", and the form will not be able to be submitted unless something is chosen. I have gotten requirements to work on all of my text input forms, but cannot figure out how to create one for the drop down field. </p> <p>The drop down HTML looks like this:</p> <pre><code><div class='container'> <label for='destemail' > Which department are you trying to reach?*</br> You must select a department.</label></br> <select name="destemail" id="destemail"> <?php foreach ($emailAddresses as $name => $email) { ?> <option value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($name); ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($name) ; ?></option> <?php } ?></select> <span id='contactus_destemail_errorloc' class='error'></span> </div> </code></pre> <p>I got the other form requirements to work like so:</p> <p>The HTML -</p> <pre><code><div class='container'> <label for='name' >Your Full Name*: </label><br/> <input type='text' name='name' id='name' value='<?php echo $formproc->SafeDisplay('name') ?>' maxlength="50" /><br/> <span id='contactus_name_errorloc' class='error'></span> </div> </code></pre> <p>The Javascript -</p> <pre><code><script type='text/javascript'> <![CDATA[ var frmvalidator = new Validator("contactus"); frmvalidator.EnableOnPageErrorDisplay(); frmvalidator.EnableMsgsTogether(); frmvalidator.addValidation("name","req","Please provide your name"); </script> </code></pre> <p>The PHP -</p> <pre><code>//name validations if(empty($_POST['name'])) { $this->add_error("Please provide your name"); $ret = false; } </code></pre> <p>I tried the exact same coding for the drop down but with the different id names where appropriate, and it didn't work. Why doesn't this same method work for the drop down?</p> <p>Help much appreciated!</p>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
