Can I apply the required attribute to <select> fields in HTML5?

I'm using the html5 contact form from here but I'm having issues trying to make the <select> field required. Everything else works fine, just having trouble with this and the dev hasnt responded when I asked about the field. this is what I have

 <select name=package id=package title=Please choose a package class=required>

    <option value=>------------------</option>

    <option value=basic>Basic</option>

    <option value=plus>Plus</option>

    <option value=premium>Premium</option>

</select>

What am I missing to get this working correctly?

I believe that the top answer to this question is what you're looking for.
To quote,

This works for me - Have the first value empty - required works on empty values.

<select required> <option value=>Please select</option> <option value=one>One</option> </select>
