Hi,
The required="" attribute doesn't apply to <select>s in the current draft of
WF2. As an author I'd expect it to apply to <select>.
I've seen a case where a <select> is used and the user is required to change
its value, as in:
<select name="test" required>
<option value="">Select one:
<option>Foo
<option>Bar
</select>
Now this can be done with radio buttons instead, but why can't the above be
supported? That is, make required apply to <select>s and if the value is
empty then required is not satisfied. (Same for <select multiple>.)
(I realise that radio buttons and checkboxes satisfy required even if the
value is empty.)
Regards,
Simon Pieters
