Problem:
A cfselect element set as required="true" does not provide an alert if there is a default value provided - even when the VALUE attriute is set to value=""
Method:
<!---
This element does not prompt the user to insert a value despite it maked as required='true"
The default option has a blank VALUE and should therefore not be counted as a vaid choice for the form.
i recall their being a "hack" for cfform.js that corrected this behaviour, and I thought it had been subsequently corrected
