I don't do this with client side, I do it with server side and a
database, but I think you should try one of the following:
1)
<label for="type" class="dialog first">Select Type</label>
<select id="type" class="dialog first">
<option selected="selected" value="">--- Type ---</option>
<script type="text/javascript">
// javascript here to dynamically load content
</script>
</select>
or
2)
<label for="type" class="dialog first">Select Type</label>
<select id="type" class="dialog first">
//No option to start with
</select>
javascript:
Then make your javascript add the first option. If it is the first in
the list then it will be selected by default so there is no need to
add selected="selected"
Hope this helps,
