you need to use the select and option objects with javascript and set the default.

here is an example:

var myselect=document.getElementById("sample")
for (var i=0; i<myselect.options.length; i++){
 if (myselect.options[i].selected==true){
  alert("Selected Option's index: "+i)
  break
 }
}
myselect.selectedIndex = 3; // sets the selected index for the select object
