try:


function validate()

    if (document.all.board_decision_comments.value == '' && document.all.board_decision.selectedIndex == 2 ) {
    alert ("Please enter reason for denial.")
    return false
    }
}


 - the select element does not have a "value"  you must check to see what the selectedIndex is.  this holds a value for the item in the options array that is selected.  the select Element has an options array which holds each option child element.
