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>

</select>

    Set selected="selected" for the option you want to be the default.

    <option selected="selected">
    3
    </option>
