This is just how dropdowns work. You need to add a blank element at the
beginning. I usually do it manually like this:
<select name="somename">
<option value=""></option>
<cfloop>
<!-- more options here -->
</cfloop>
</select>

Subject: drop down box
hi
we want to have a drop down box on a form that has attribute 'required' and
a message that displays if no value is select when the form is submitted
however, using cfselect automatically makes the first option selected, but
we want the user to physically select an option
how can we code it so that no option is automatically selected when the page
loads?
thanks
