Working with the Validation Select widget
Validation Select widget overview and structure
A Spry Validation Select widget is a drop-down menu that displays valid or invalid states when the user makes a
selection. For example, you can insert a Validation Select widget that contains a list of states, grouped into different
sections and divided by horizontal lines. If the user accidentally selects one of the divider lines as opposed to one of
the states, the Validation Select widget returns a message to the user stating that their selection is invalid.
The following example shows an expanded Validation Select widget, as well as the collapsed form of the widget in
various states.

The Validation Select widget includes a number of states (for example, valid, invalid, required value, and so on). You
can alter the properties of these states by using the Property inspector, depending on the desired validation results.
A Validation Select widget can validate at various points (for example, when the user clicks outside the widget, as the
user makes selections, or when the user tries to submit the form).
Initial state When the page loads in the browser, or when the user resets the form.
Focus state When the user clicks the widget.
Valid state When the user selects a valid item, and the form can be submitted.
Invalid state When the user selects an invalid item.
Required state When the user fails to select a valid item.
