I'm stuck here and I have hard time to understand why values are not blank GregR on "validation and default value" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/validation-and-default-value#post-44520 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:17:18 +0000 GregR 44520@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Greetings Chris Thank you for your answer I have been to the link, and I already followed the advise to enable value blanck for the first option. that is actually what I did on the code I sent here. but it seems that it auto feed the option value <pre><code>//Adding initial blank value. $items[] = array("text" => "Select the destination", "value" => ""); $items[] = array("text" => "----------------------", "value" => "");</code></pre> I thought that would have print me <pre><code><option value='' >Select the destination</option> <option value='' >----------------------</option></code></pre> and THAT would have fired me an error, I guess BUT actualy it prints me the following <pre><code><option value='Select the destination' >Select the destination</option> <option value='----------------------' >----------------------</option></code></pre> which validate any idea why my snipet does not work? why the option value is auto poluated with the "text" value thank you in advance for your help Chris Hajer on "validation and default value" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/validation-and-default-value#post-44496 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:33:06 +0000 Chris Hajer 44496@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Please see this: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/required-fields-1#post-27364" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/required-fields-1#post-27364</a> You can enable values and leave the value blank for the first option. Does that help you?

I face the very same problem with a select menu where I have used <pre><code>[php //Creating drop down item array. $items = array(); //Adding initial blank value. $items[] = array("text" => "Select the destination", "value" => ""); $items[] = array("text" => "----------------------", "value" => "");</code></pre> if people don't select a value, then it is a blank value, but still it validates Thank you in advance for your assistance
