I have a this dropdown list:
<select name="Title" size="1" style="width=250px;">
    <option value=1>Mr</option>
    <option value=2>Mrs</option>
    <option value=3>Miss</option>
    <option value=4>Ms</option>
    <option value=5>Dr</option>
</select>

Is it possible to have default value to no selection (none of the item of the list)?
If not, is there a way to simulate this behavior?

Hi
There isn't a way to have no value selected, even if you don't set any as selected, like you have done.
The usual way to get round this is to put in a sort of "dummy" option at the top of the list, which you can check for when your form is submitted, or whatever you want to do with it.
So in your example, you could make it something like:

<select name="Title" size="1" style="width=250px;">
    <option value=0>Choose title..</option>
    <option value=1>Mr</option>
    <option value=2>Mrs</option>
    <option value=3>Miss</option>
    <option value=4>Ms</option>
    <option value=5>Dr</option>
</select>

So when you check, if the value is 0, you know they did not select anything.
