Actually, CFSelect is JavaScript (created at run-time).  However, CFSelect
won't create the JavaScript you're needing.

Quick bit of code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function checkForm(){
if (document.formName.Organization.value != "")
{document.formName.submit();}
else
{alert ("Error!  You must choose an Organization.");
return false;}
}
</script>

<form name="formName" action="cfselect2.cfm" method="post" onSubmit="return
checkForm()">
Organization:<br>
<select name="Organization">
<option value="" selected>Please Choose Organization>
<!--- other option tags go here, created by outputing your query --->
</select>
</form>
