How can I set the default value for an HTML <select> element?
I thought that adding a "value"
attribute set on the <select>
element below would cause the <option>
containing my provided "value"
to be selected by default:
<select name="hall" id="hall" value="3">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>5</option>
</select>
However, this did not work as I had expected. How can I set which <option>
element is selected by default?
