Problem With Select Validation

[hifigrafix]

For some reason I can't enforce selecting from the "seminar" field

**TAKEN FROM JAVASCRIPT KIT

function checkrequired(which){
var pass=true
if (document.images){
for (i=0;i<which.length;i++){
var tempobj=which.elements[i]
if (tempobj.name.substring(0,8)=="required"){
if (((tempobj.type=="text"||tempobj.type=="textarea")&&tempobj.value=='')||(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&tempobj.selectedIndex==-1)){
pass=false
break
}
}
}
}
if (!pass){
alert("One or more of the required elements are not completed. Please complete them, then submit again!")
return false
}
else
return true
}

<form name="seminarRegister" method="post" action="***" onSubmit="return checkrequired(this)">

Use

if (((tempobj.type=="text"||tempobj.type=="textarea")&&tempobj.value=='')||(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&tempobj.value==-1)){

instead of
tempobj.selectedIndex==-1

Also assign the first option value of the select box to "-1"

<select name="requiredstate">
<option value="-1">Select State</option>
<option value="AL">AL</option>
<option value="AK">AK</option>
.....
..
</select>
