I have a web page on www.lugnet.com which sends out four multiple-select
lists. In each of those lists, I want _none_ of the list items to be
pre-selected. If the user clicks Submit without explicitly selecting any
items in any of those list boxes, I don't want the browser to tell me that
the user has done so. I want to be able to detect the condition of "nothing
selected." Also, if the user clicks the Reset-form button, I don't want the
first list item to be auto-selected again.
Is there a way to write this in MSIE using "canonical" tag attributes (that
is, by avoiding JavaScript or VBScript) in the <SELECT> tag? For the time
being, to work around this shortcoming (I'll not call it a bug) in MSIE by
adding a faux item "-------" at the top of the list if the browser is any
version of MSIE (the shortcoming persists in MSIE5).
