Alternatively, if your "none selected" option will always be first, you can
do:


function nullCheck()
{
  if (document.frm1.selInitiativeStat.selectedIndex < 1)
  {
    alert("Error! Error! Does not compute!");
    return false;
  }
}

This way, you can change the value of the first option without it mattering.
This simply checks to make sure the option selected is the second option or
later.

Believe it or not, I got that today.
