title: How do I set the default selected item in a Rails drop-down menu?
body: <p>When creating a standard Rails dropdown menu how do you set which item in the list should be default?<br />I ask because in the past I've been just putting a nil entry as the first item in my list of values that are going into the drop-down, but when using {:include_blank => true} the blank entry is not the default selected item, the first item from the list is.</p>
