You have two options with this code:
1) Remove the <option value="0"></option> default value. That way a valid
value will always be selected.
2) Change the test in the JS function to if (theform.member_role.selectedindex
!= 0), since the first item has an index of 0, not -1.
The select box that you have defined here will always have one (and only one) item
selected. If you want to allow for the selection of multiple items, you must specify
multiple on the SELECT tag. If you do this, then the test for a selectedindex value
of -1 is appropriate (and you'd probably want to remove that first OPTION as well).
