validation for list?

#1

How do I validate that a user selects an item from a pre-determined list in a form?

Many thanks!

function isOptionSelected(sel){
return sel.selectedIndex>0;
}

This assumes that all items are selectable.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid I don't know how (where) to insert tha
function.

I was hoping to get a validation code, similar with what is already there
within forms (i.e. "MM_validateForm('FirstName','','R','LastName','', 'R'")

Thanks!

<head>
<script>
function isOptionSelected(sel){
if(!sel.selectedIndex){alert("Boo");return false}
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form onsubmit="...
return (document.MM_returnValue && isOptionSelected(this.nameOfSelect);")

<select name="nameOfSelect">
