I don't know cfselect (or cfform in general, really)... so if not using
cfform is an option, here's how it'd be done.
<form onsubmit="return checkThis(this);">
<select name="foo" id="foo">
<option value="">Please Select One</option>
<option value="A">A</option>
...
</select>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkThis(frm) {
if (document.getElementById('foo').selectedIndex == 0) {
alert('You Failed');
return false;
}
}
</script>
