Can I make a drop-down a required field?

[nsukari]

I'm using cold fusion for an update form. There are three choices for a drop-down box. I want to make it required to pick one of these choices and then, depending on which drop-down choice is made, I want to make certain text boxes required. 1st, can I make the drop-down required? 2nd, if that's possible, can I use the CFIF to say if "A" is selected (in the drop-down box), then this field is required, if not, this field is not required.
Please help. If I can do this, it would save me a lot of hassle.

Thanks, Teri
