Issue Summary

Hi Constantine,

Currently when the country to selected, the states are loaded and one of them is selected by default. Instead I have a need where the state should not be selected by default, but display "--select state--" as the first in the drop down and force the user to select the state. Any thoughts on how this can be done.

Thanks
ZM

Patch the module as you like it. During creation of the drop down list, add --select state-- before you loop through the states. Then in validation, throw an error if the --select state-- item is selected. I look forward to your patch.

Would be better patching with empty string value (displaying --select state--) then throw error "is mandatory" ?

Right. The displayed text doesn't have to match the returned value. Empty string is a logical choice. Og_fourm has all of my attention at the moment and so I can't get to this for a while.
