Description:
------------
I have an issue getting the validation JS to be
triggered when a required date is there, however when i
select the empty option, its not triggered, and acts
like the date is still selected.

This doesnt work on mac or pc

Reproduce code:
---------------
Here is the js code, and the date menu

var date_response_dueElements = '::date_response_due[d]::date_response_due[m]::date_response_due[Y]::';
value = new Array();
var valueIdx = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < frm.elements.length; i++) {
var _element = frm.elements[i];
if (date_response_dueElements.indexOf('::' + _element.name + '::') >= 0) {
switch (_element.type) {
case 'checkbox':
case 'radio':
if (_element.checked) {
value[valueIdx++] = _element.value;
}
break;
case 'select':
if (-1 != _element.selectedIndex) {
value[valueIdx++] = _element.options[_element.selectedIndex].value;
}
break;
default:
value[valueIdx++] = _element.value;
}
}
}

if (value == '' && !errFlag['date_response_due']) {
errFlag['date_response_due'] = true;
_qfMsg = _qfMsg + '\n - The field Date Response Due is required.';
}


<select name="date_response_due[d]">
<option value="1">01</option>

Apoligies, this is generated from
DB_DataObject_FormBuilder, I will need to play with his
code to see if it works.

I had also an issue with normal form arrays like
fieldname[] checking if its entered or not.
