[TYPO3-commerce] Force payment method selection

[Morten Olesen]

Hey Rik

No I mean that you insert a blank option when onload/domready fires

ala.

var newOpt=document.createElement('option');
newOpt.text='--select one--';
newOpt.value=-1;
var paySelect=document.getElementById('id goes here');

try{
	paySelect.dd(newOpt,pySelect.options[0]);
}catch(ex){
	paySelect.add(newOpt,0);
}

or easier still use jquery ^^

ofcourse the very simplest solution would be to simply create a payment 
method with the name '--select one--';

and then have the form validation refuse to submit the form when that is 
select.

hope it helped.
