okay, i tried this one of the demo instances and it works perfectly:-



<html>


<select id="approvers" onchange="test()" style="width:200px">


<option value='' > -- None --   </option>


<option value='a' selected="selected"> A   </option>


<option value='b'> B   </option>


</select>


</html>



(I just used the code from one of the posts above)



If you need the selected value to be dynamic, I would say probably write a function onload of the page and then use dom to set the default value for the choicelist.
