I can't seem to find a way to have the top choice of a select list be blank or something like "select" so that one of the options is not chosen by default. The fields are all required so just putting the work "select" as the top options will not work unless there is a snippet out that that will interpret "select" as an empty field. Any help is welcome...

Here is a link so you can see exactly what I'm talking about: http://thevitalvoice.com/?q=user/register just scroll down to the "Background" section and you will see the fields.

I'm having this same issue. It seems there was a long thread about this a while back, people wanting to have the blank value removed for required fields.

I'm with you, I think people should start with a blank value, even if the label is something like 'please specify'. I can't find any way to accomplish this through the UI, I'll probably have to do a little hook_form_alter to make this change.

Sorry for the delay on this. I found a way to work around it by using radio buttons instead of select boxes using CCK's Option Widget. I hope this helps... You can see it in action here: http://thevitalvoice.com/?q=user/register

I'm thinking you must be using advanced profile to turn your profiles into nodes? Anybody know of a way to create a required field w/two choices (like yes or no) that is presented to the user empty at registration... with ordinary profiles?
