or, if you wanted to have more than one blank option in your dropdown list
to break groups of items apart, then you could do it like this:

function nullCheck()
{
  list = document.frm1.selInitiativeStat;
  if(!list.options[list.selectedIndex].value)
  {
    alert('Error! Error! Does not compute!');
    return false;
  }
}

good luck,
