To insert a Spry Validation Select widget, follow these steps:
1. Place your cursor where you??™d like your text field to appear.
2. From the Spry or Forms categories of the Insert bar, choose Spry Validation Select.
3. If your Dreamweaver Preferences are set to display the accessibility attributes for form fields, the
Input Form Accessibility Attributes dialog is displayed; click OK after you??™ve completed the
desired fields.
4. If your cursor is not within a

5. From the Spry Select Property inspector (see Figure 18-19), choose whether a choice should be
required by setting or clearing the Blank Value checkbox.

On Blur or Change options.
7. If your form includes separators or other non-meaningful choices, select the Invalid Value option
and set the value to restrict in the adjacent field.
