Is there any way to have the price selection drop-down menu not default to the first option? I have some customers who seem to be skipping over this field and end up paying the default price. I would like to force them to have to make a selection.

Hi,
Well there are two options really, but both require code.
The first would be to edit a core file to add the required class to the dropdown and insert a blank selection at the top. This isnt ideal as you are changing a core file.
event-espresso/includes/functions/pricing.php, you would need to edit the espresso_price_select function.
The other option is to add some jQuery to the registration_page_display.php template to do the same. Issue with this is it wont work if javascript is turned off.
<script>
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
//get the event id
var the_event_id = <?php echo json_encode($event_id) ?>;
//add blank value to the top of the list and make it default.
jQuery("#price_option-" + the_event_id ).prepend("<option value=''></option>").val('');
//add required class to the options lists to force validation so an item has to be selected.
jQuery("#price_option-" + the_event_id ).addClass('required');
});
</script>

Dean, Thanks for getting me started in the right direction – I did have to make a couple of tweaks to the code, and ended up with the following:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
//get the event id
var the_event_id = document.URL;
the_event_id = the_event_id.substr(the_event_id.indexOf("?ee=")+4, the_event_id.length-the_event_id.indexOf("?ee=")-4);
//add blank value to the top of the list and make it default.
jQuery("#price_option-" + the_event_id ).prepend("").val('');
//add required class to the options lists to force validation so an item has to be selected.
jQuery("#price_option-" + the_event_id ).addClass('required');
});
