Hi everyone,

I'm using Dreavweaver CS2 and I wondered if the form validation behaviour allows you to validate drop down menus in the form? If not, does CS3 allow this or can someone suggest a good extension that does the job?

Thanks for any help.
 
look towards 'requiring' drop downs as there is no real need to validate anything...since you pre-determine the input format. ;-)

Thanks for the reply,

I need to validate drop downs because even though they choose from a pre-determined list, I want to make sure that they actually choose something before submitting the form.

Not sure what you mean by 'requiring' - can you explain in more detail?
 
requiring = something has be selected

DW does not have this built-in so you would have to do some hand coding in javascript see:
better yet if you have dynamic language (server side, asp/php...) use it to require some value.

All the best!
