Not complete but should give you the general idea.
you could simplify this but I think this is clearer/easier to understand. I
usually find that usefull about 6 months from the present.
function validateMe() {
var thisSelectionIdx = document.forms["thisForm"].cardtype.selectedIndex;
var thisSelectionValue =
document.forms["thisForm"].cardtype.options[thisSelectionIdx].value;
if (thisSelectionValue == 'unknown') {
// raise error
return false;
}
else {
document.forms["thisForm"].submit();
}
}
<form id="thisForm" name="thisForm" onSumbit="validateMe()">
<cfselect name = "cardtype">
<option value = "unknown"> Plseas Select </option>
<option value = "v">Visa
<option value = "m">Master Card
</cfselect>
