Waiting an hour is not showing enough patience: PatienceIsAVirtue.

Also, when posting in the HTML/JavaScript forum, please show only the rendered HTML--JSP is useless to us. You may find that looking at the rendered HTML is enough to solve your problem. Plus your JavaScript is wrong anyway, unless you really want a user to be able to select the header label as a legal value.

I think you misunderstood what I meant when I said "post the rendered HTML". You just posted more *more* JSP, which is kind of the opposite of what is useful.

...

Clients (browsers) don't render JSP. They render HTML. HTML is what gets sent from the server to the client. HTML is what JavaScript acts on.

Post the rendered HTML.

So, the rendered HTML *does* give you a clue why your JavaScript doesn't work as you expect--right?

Wouldn't it be cleaner to use a regex for the textfield validation? Or at least refactor out the validation code into its own method?

Works fine for me. I still think you should use a regex for that file thing though.

How will you be uploading the file without a file input?

I ran your code against what you said was the generated HTML. It worked. I didn't change anything.

I don't see how this is significantly different. Did you put a breakpoint or alert or console log to see if it's even getting to the code that validates the select?
