title: Set default value on configurable drop down in magento
body: <p>I have a Configurable Product with 3 Options - here is what the drop down menu looks like on the product page.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Bundle Deals            
  
  * Required Fields
  Choose an Option...
  - Single Product £10
  - 5 Product Bundle £50
  - 10 Product Bundle £100
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Default value on page load is <code>£10.00</code> but if I hit add to cart it flags up with - <code>* Required Fields</code> &amp; user is prompted to select an option from the drop down.</p>
  
  <p>By default I would like the drop down menu to load with - <code>Single Product £10</code> as the default value.</p>
  
  <p>Hope that all makes sense?  I can't find this functionality in the Magento version 1.9 CE, which I am using</p>
  
  <p><strong>FINAL EDIT >></strong> thanks to everyone for helping - got a fix - Very glad! visit link.. <strong>similar to a suggestion here but something in the code seemed to work for me</strong></p>
