# Select Validation Not Working

 *  Resolved [Evansj92](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evansj92/)

 * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/select-validation-not-working/)
 * I have a form used for booking courses ([on this page](http://www.irs-limited.com/training/booking-form/)).
   However, the select boxes do not come up as a validation error when I leave them
   blank however and submit the form.
 * I am using “include_blank” in the form settings, and have set an id for the select
   so I can edit the blank field with jquery ([using this code](http://harrisonproject.co.uk/my-blog/adding-placeholderwatermark-in-contact-form-7-drop-down)).
 * Can someone advise me on how to solve?

 * Updated to latest version – solved issue. Sometimes the easiest things are the
   first things you should try!
