I have a SELECT form element. I just removed the SELECTED attribute from the first OPTION tag in it. In Firefox, the option is no longer selected. In IE, the option is still selected.

Is there any way to force IE to not select the first option by default?

It's on an intranet, or I'd show you what I'm talking about.

Never mind. I was looking in the wrong place. IE is not selecting the first option by default.

I'd be embarrassed if I didn't have so much practice at being wrong.
