I need to remove the blank option.
This is a restaurant web page and this is the reservation form. The thing is that they are reciving a lot of "blank" reservation hours because people don't specify the reservation hour.
Sorry for my English, I'm from Spain :)
The code:
HTML read by browser
<div id="lashoras">
<select name="Hora" size="1" onChange="updateHoraPersonas();">
<option value="" selected="selected"> </option>
<option value="1330">13:30</option>
<option value="1400">14:00</option>
<option value="1430">14:30</option>
<option value="1500">15:00</option>
<option value="1930">19:30</option>
<option value="2000">20:00</option>
<option value="2030">20:30</option>
<option value="2100">21:00</option>
<option value="2130">21:30</option><option value="2200">22:00</option></select>
</div>
source code HTML
<div id="lashoras">
<?php
echo $selectFullDay;
?>
SelectFullDay PHP Var
$selectFullDay = build_select_options ("Hora","id_lookup","lookup","lookups",0," ",$onChange,$theWhere,$multiple,$orderby);
updateHoraPersonas Function
function updateHoraPersonas(){
var mediodiaMax = maxPersonas;
var nocheMax = maxPersonas;
mediodiaMax = maxPersonas-curDia_mediodia_reservados;
if(mediodiaMax<0) mediodiaMax = 0;
nocheMax = maxPersonas-curDia_noche_reservados;
if(nocheMax<0) nocheMax = 0;
var hora = $('#lashoras').val();
//hora blank for first, otherwise 1330
//primero ver si llegado a tope de mediodia/noche
if (hora <= horaCambio) {
selectMax = mediodiaMax;
} else {
selectMax = nocheMax;
}
//y ahora hora a hora
selectMax = Math.min(selectMax,horasArray[hora]);
var Numero_de_personasSelect = "";
for (i=1 ; i<= selectMax ; i++) {
if (i==1) {
selected = "selected='selected'";
} else {
selected = "";
}
Numero_de_personasSelect += "<option value='"+i+"' "+selected+" >"+i+"</option>";
}
if (selectMax <=0 ) {
Numero_de_personasSelect += "<option value=''>Completo</option>";
}
$("#Numero_de_personas").html(Numero_de_personasSelect);
//alert('mediodiaMax: '+mediodiaMax+' | nocheMax: '+nocheMax+' | selectMax: '+selectMax);}
</script>

Change the form submission so that the user cannot submit if the reservation time is not specified! This way you processing time does not increase on explicitly removing blank options
an exapmle
<?php
if(!isset($_POST['time'])){
//'Enter valid details
}else{
//redirect here
}
