Validate only for specific text

Hi,
I have a select box with a number of options, the top option is 'Please Choose'.

The problem I have is that users are submitting the form without choosing.
i.e. When I read the form data, the only info I'm getting is 'Please Choose' as opposed to the data I need.


Is there a way to validate the input so that:
a/ The user is alerted to this fact.
b/ the form won't submit unless they make a valid selection.


Thanks.🙂

Hello driv,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I validate the length of a text input?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Ah!
I've spent ages searching on this one and been through the FAQs but it turns out It's part of the basic validation - which recognises the form is still set to 'Please Choose'.

Ah well, a learning experience then....

Sorry, I can't find a way to delete this question.

Thank Bob. Now I understand.🙂
