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?
