Hello, sorry this is off topic.

I was wondering if any one could help me.
I need to make sure that a select box has items highlighted when the
HTML page is submitted. I have tried this but it does not work, could
someone help me out please.

<script language="Javascript">

 function validate(this_form) {
      // required form values
          var User =
this_form.gmrpeople[this_form.gmrpeople.selectedIndex].value;
  //gmrpeople is the select box
 //begin validation
       if (!( User == "")) {
       return true;
      }
      else {
           msg = "\nYou need to highlight an option in the
selectbox:\n";
           alert(msg);
           return false;
     }
 }

</SCRIPT>

And with the FORM

<FORM onSubmit="return validate(this)" ACTION="/vdb/newlite"
METHOD="post">

If anyone could help I would be most appreciative.
