Hi,

I encountered a problem using client side validation in IE 6 & 7.

When using the <t:selectOneMenu> tag and configuring it as required i am getting i gibberish value selected as default.

If i am removing the required value, the gibberish massage is not displayed.

i am using the "onDemand" and the q_validateById function.

here is my code:

<t:selectOneMenu id="genBirthCountry"

                        styleClass="input_210"

                        required="#"

                        value="#{ivController.data.genBirthCountry}">

          <f:selectItem itemValue="" itemLabel="[Select a country]" />

          <t:selectItems value="#{ivController.countryList}" var="country"

            itemLabel="#{country.countryDesc}"

            itemValue="#{country.countryCode}" />

</t:selectOneMenu>

please view the screen snap to see what is presented inside the select box.

thanks in advanced,

Shai
