The message isn't appearing because your form element has a value. the blank
space is considered a value.

According to the CF documentation you can make a select list required and you
can get around the need to set the size gt 1 by entering " " as the value of
the first option.
This is the documentation:
REQUIRED... Note: This attribute has no effect if you omit the size attribute
or set it to 1, because the browser always submits the displayed item. You can
work around this issue: format forms by having an initial option tag with
value=" " (notice the space character between the quotation marks).
This is the code:
<cfselect name="dob_mm" style="width: 100px;" class="#color3#"
required="yes" message="Please enter your date of birth">
<option value=" ">Month</option>
<option value="1">January</option>
<option value="2">February</option>
<option value="3">March</option>
<option value="zzz">More</option>
</cfselect>
What am I doing wrong? I just want to get the message when the users selects
the "Month" option.
Thanks
