How to force a customer to choose a Customer Group adding a --Please select--!?

Hello Guys,

I have searched forums and read many threads about the topic but i havent found what i am looking for.

I am using OC V. 1.5.6.4 and I have created two customer groups one is Domestic Customers (With a special pricing) and another for International Customers (With a completely different pricing).

However, i would need to force my customers to choose a customer group from the above customer groups i have created adding a --Please select-- in a drop down menu and an asterix to the customer type in the registration form, so if not chosen, a warning pop up message appears as to select the group he/she belongs to in order to continue with the registration.

I have managed to change the customer group selection in the registration form to (drop-down list instead of radio) and added the red asterix (mandatory) to the customer type but YET to add the --Please select-- and the warning parts. Now if a customer didn't take action, the registration will proceed and the customer will be added to the default customer group which is in this case Domestic although they are International still.

I would really appreciate your inputs in that matter, efforts and responses are greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Spinner
