I've setup some forms with a dropdown/select box and for some reason, when I chose the first item listed it says "please choose a value".

I changed the order around but it continues to do it.

Thanks for your help!

Hi alsage13,

You have the select drop-down validated as 'required'. This usually means that it has to have an option selected that has a value set. To have this work usefully you need to have a default option that has no value, usually this is the first option and you have it set to display ?? or 'please select an xxx'

I'm not quite clear what is happening to yours now - the validation no longer seems to be working at all on the select box.

I'm still not really sure what the problem is, but I just removed the validation and so now it works. Cheers, Bob!

try adding a space before your first selection in the Options box that worked for me when I had the same issue.

HI, well. If i do this in a static dropdown all works, but how i can do this whit a dynamic dropdown from a db?
Thanks

Hi sercio,

Are you using the 'Show Empty' box in the drop down element?

Bob

No.
I try with "show Empty" parameter and.... now work well.
Thank you.
