I have added a "how did u reach us" drop down in my onepage checkout.
When I press the Place Order without select any option in the Drop Down I must get the error message "There is a required field".
But now the REQUIRED options are not working as required.
Customers can place order even if there is no selection in the drop down.
I think, When pressing Place Order button it's not checking for the required fields or it's considering the blank options as a value.
This is the code.
<form value="" class="where-did-you-hear" id="checkout-agreements" onsubmit="return false;">
<?php if($survey_question_Status && isset($survey_question_Status)) { ?>
<div class="buttons-set">
<ul class="form-list">
<li>
<fieldset>
<ul>
<li>
<label class="commentlabel required" for="ordercomment-comment">
<?php echo $survey_question; ?> <em>*</em></label>
<div class="input-box">
<select class="validate-select" id="socialtype" name="socialtype" title="<?php echo $survey_question ?>">
<option value=""><?php echo $this->__("- Select -");?></option>
<option value="Friend/Relative/Acquaintance"><?php echo $this->__("Friend/Relative/Acquaintance");?></option>
<option value="Google search"><?php echo $this->__("Google search");?></option>
<option value="Gumtree Advert"><?php echo $this->__("Gumtree Advert");?></option>
<option value="Facebook"><?php echo $this->__("Facebook");?></option>
<option value="Other"><?php echo $this->__("Other");?></option>
</select>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($this->getAgreements()): ?>
<ol class="checkout-agreements">
<?php foreach ($this->getAgreements() as $_a): ?>
<li>
<div class="agreement-content"<?php echo ($_a->getContentHeight() ? ' style="height:' . $_a->getContentHeight() . '"' : '')?>>
<?php if ($_a->getIsHtml()):?>
<?php echo $_a->getContent() ?>
<?php else:?>
<?php echo nl2br($this->htmlEscape($_a->getContent())) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<p class="agree">
<input type="checkbox" id="agreement-<?php echo $_a->getId()?>" name="agreement[<?php echo $_a->getId()?>]" value="1" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_a->getCheckboxText()) ?>" class="checkbox" /><label for="agreement-<?php echo $_a->getId()?>"><?php echo $_a->getIsHtml() ? $_a->getCheckboxText() : $this->htmlEscape($_a->getCheckboxText()) ?></label>
</p>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ol>
<?php endif; ?>
</form>I think the "Place Order" button rule is making the issue.
Plz have a look at the onepage/review/button.phtml
<p class="required"><?php echo $this->__('* Required Fields') ?></p>
<button type="submit" title="<?php echo $this->__('Place Order') ?>" class="button btn-checkout" onclick="review.save();"><span><span><?php echo $this->__('Place Order') ?></span></span></button>
