Consider this... 1) When the binded list is first displayed - it appears to already have a default selection - that is the first entry. So if I over look this field, I assume to have already have a selection made for me. Setting this to a required field and having a default blank selection forces a person to make a choice. It's a known fact that default selections can be used more often than thought (path of least resistance). In fact in politics here in Australia, politicians hope to be the first on the voting card for this very reason (it's card a donkey vote!) 2) Also I noticed that if a selection is not made, when using the form controller, the field remains null until a manual selection is made. So the data stored is different to what a user sees. I'll try to whip a sample to show you. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Binded-SelectBox-insert-a-first-empty-item-tp4810771p4821570.html Sent from the qooxdoo mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
