select input validator

[Feudalism]

While this code works allright for text-inputs validation, It doesnt work for "select" types.

    if (document.nueva.pricing.value == '' ) {
                                alert('El campo `pricing´ es obligatorio.');
                                nueva.pricing.focus();
                                error_de_validacion = 'S';
                                return(false);
                            }

When accessing elements with an ID its best using document.getElementById

ie

if (document.getElementById('pricing').value == '' ) {
    alert('El campo `pricing´ es obligatorio.');
    nueva.pricing.focus();
    error_de_validacion = 'S';
    return(false);
}

Also, with select elements use the selectedIndex value to check.

I tend to add a 'Please Select' option, and check if that has or hasn't been selected, Usually the selectedIndex should be more than 0 (if you have the please select option)
