The "required" option for CFSELECT is rather silly, when you consider
how SELECT boxes work. In a SELECT, something is always selected (the
default option, if not changed).
That's why you've gotta write your own code:
(assuming that you want something other than the first option selected)
<select name="selectBox" onChange="if (! this.selectedIndex){alert('You
must select an option.')}">
You can use this in a CFSELECT as well.
