Hi
I have an ASP form which only includes an option list. The list is
dynamically created but includes a default value, which is an
instruction "Select a group".
The code is shown at bottom.
I want to ensure the user does not submit the form with the default
value selected.
I think something like the javscript handler available at:
http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/13767 might be what I need.
(script extract)
<SCRIPT>
function checkvalue() {
if (triviaform.TriviaAnswer.optio*ns[0].selected) {
alert('You must enter your response.');
event.returnValue=false;
}
}
</SCRIPT>
However this script works for a static form with pre numbered options
ie option 0 is the default option.
How do I modify this script (or get another one) which will prevent my
default value being selected?
Thanks ColinK
MY FORM
<form action="LeaderSelect2.asp" method="get">
<select name="GroupName">
<option>Select a Group</option>
<%
' Continue until we get to the end of the recordset.
Do While Not rsGroupP.EOF
' For each record we create a option tag and set it's value to
the GroupID
%>
<option value="<%= rsGroupP.Fields("GroupName") %>"><%=
rsGroupP.Fields("GroupName") %></option>
<%
' Get next record
rsGroupP.MoveNext
Loop
End If
%>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Add a Leader to this
Group">
</form>
