Question

Does the select element have the required attribute?

Answer 1

Yes you can use required attribute in HTML5. But remember, first value should be empty.

<select required>
<option value="">Please select</option>
<option value="first">First</option>
</select>

Answer 2

Yes it does, but currently it is not supported by any version of all major browsers. This includes Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

Answer 3

It is possible but (just Arif said above) it is important (obviously) that you use the first option without value like:

<form action="#" method="post">
  <div>
    <label for="State">State</label> 
    <select required id="State" name="State">
      <option value="">Choose</option>
      <option value="new">New</option>
      <option value="old">Old</option>
    </select>
  </div>
</form>
