Automatic JavaScript Validation for select box

I am using Automatic JavaScript Validation. For a mandatory select
box, i am using the following code:

'blogCategoryId' => array(
'required' => array('rule' =>array
('allowEmpty',false), 'message'=>'Please select Blog

But it is not working. Please anyone can help me.
