The following always preselects the last option, even when I set the selected attribute, but I like the first option to be preselected.

<select name="filter">
    <option value="" selected>Make a choice</option>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
    <option value="7">7</option>
    <option value="">all</option>
</select>

Can this be done?
