Form validation and SELECTs

OK! :red: When things don't make sense, it means you're missing something. Right?

So, now things make sense again, because I found what I was missing... I thought I was being diligent in checking this scenario in multiple browsers, but that's where I missed something. This strange scenario ended up being limited to one browser -- Google Chrome in OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64, to be specific -- but I didn't catch what I'd missed until this evening. Viewing the source in Chrome actually was viewing the (cached?) pre-submit/validation version of the page. The validation failure message was appearing in the source for all the browsers except Chrome. Too hasty, too sleepy, whatever... Just glad I found the quirk that was throwing me off.

Why I was using Chrome as my development browser is another matter entirely. I think I'll go back to Opera or Firefox. :roll:
