Error checking form selection dropdown option

I have a form with dropdowns for Month, Day, Year and also multiple choice quiz questions, which is writing to CMSB database. Everything works fine and it is writing to the db. Problem is if any of the dropdowns are unselected there is no Error Alert. If you leave a textfield empty there is an Error Alert. I have the dropdowns setup to show an error if a value is not selected. I have several of these forms to do and would like to find the solution as it is imperative that test takers don't leave questions unanswered. What am I missing? Here is the page in question.

Hi there.
Thanks for posting.
I tested your forum locally and was able to get the error checking on your drop down menus working.
The solution is adding value='' to the first option you have in each of your drop downs like this:
<select name="month">
<option selected="selected" value="" >Select One</option>
Give this a shot and let me know how you make out.
Thanks.
Cheers,
