Answer 1

I was recently having trouble with this same thing and I found a really simple solution.

All you have to do is set the first option to disabled and selected. Like this:

    select one option
    one
    two
    three
    four
    five

This will display the first option (grayed out) when the page is loaded. It also prevents the user from being able to select it once they click on the list.
