validation error

[rpicker]

Does anyone have any idea what this message means. I get the message when I try
to send a message. Attribute validation error for tag CFMAIL. The value of
the attribute TO is invalid. The length of the string, 0 character(s), must be
greater than or equal to 1 character(s). I am sending the message from a
query as follows: <cfquery datasource='siteadmin' name='getcontacts'> select *
from super_contacts </cfquery> <cfmail to='#email#
from='dragonlist@dragon.k12.pa.us' subject='#form.subject#'
query='getcontacts'> mail body info </cfmail>

It has been awhile since I have worked with forms and I am getting a error when
validating on the third line.

Empty values are not valid for the ""selected"" attribute in any of the
currently active versions. See the above warnings for more details.[XHTML 1.0
transitional]

<td width="400" height="25" align="left">
<select name="Operating_System">
<option selected value=""></option>
<option value="Linux">Linux</option>
<option value="Windows 2000">Windows 2000</option>
<option value="Windows 2000 Server">Windows 2000 Server</option>
<option value="Windows XP">Windows XP</option>
<option value="Windows 2003 Server">Windows 2003 Server</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>



Do I even need the line "<option selected value=""></option>"

Why is this empty?

<option selected value=""></option>

My supervisor wants to have the seclection for Operating System to be left blank until they use the pull down , opon pulling the box down they will select the operating system that they would like.

[Murray *ACE*]

But that's what is causing the validation error. Why not add something like
"> Make your selection <"?

Thanks - the selected="selected" worked and cleared all my validation errors

[Murray *ACE*]

That's what it meant by having empty values. No attribute can be empty,
e.g., selected="selected", checked="checked", readonly="readonly",
disabled="disabled", etc.
