Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have an autocomplete function which brings back an array of iID and values.<br />
The values are displayed to the user.<br />
When selected the corresponding ID is stored in a hidden field.<br />
<br />
I need to enforce the rule that if the user doesn't choose from the list (ie ID hasn't been set) then <br />
they cannot carry on. &nbsp;However, as the ID field is hidden, I am having trouble trying to come up with an elegant way of displaying this to the user.<br />
<br />
Just after some advice on how you would tackle this problem!<br />
<br />
Thanks

Advice on how to make sure end user knows they must select from a list

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

jQuery

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.

AJAX

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
