hi, I want to know if you know where in the drop down menu I can put a require field. I have this drop down selection <select name="Ordering_CardType"> <option Selected value="SelectCardType"<%SEL%Ordering_CardType{_SelectCardType}%>>Select Card Type</option> <option value="Visa"<%SEL%Ordering_CardType{_Visa}%>>VISA</option> <option value="MasterCard"<%SEL%Ordering_CardType{_MasterCard}%>>MasterCard</option> <option value="AmericanExpress"<%SEL%Ordering_CardType{_AmericanExpress}%>>American Express</option> <option value="DinerClub"<%SEL%Ordering_CardType{_DinerClub}%>>Diner's Club</option> <option value="Discover"<%SEL%Ordering_CardType{_Discover}%>>Discover</option> </select> Now, I want to make sure the user select an option and don't leave it it blank or the default (Select Card Type) Where would you put the "<%REQ%Ordering_CardType%> TAG in the selections of the formerror.html/ Can that be done? Jairo
