validating a selected item in a list box.

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a web form with a drop down list box.

The first item is "Please make a selection." and the data value is "-1"

I'd like to set up a validator that checks to make sure that on submit, the
value
is not -1. This will ensure a user has made a proper selection.

I can do this without a validator by want to leverage the power of
validators and client side script execution to reduce the traffic of post
backs.

thanks

Chris
