My code loads the list drop down, but the option isn't selected. How can I set a default selected option?

**Javascript:**

```
var options = '';
    options += '<option value="00">-- Pilih Salah Satu --</option>';
for (var s=0;s<json.kec.length;s++) {
    options += '<option value="' + json.kec[s].dist + '">'
            + json.kec[s].dist+json.kec[s].name + '</option>';
}
$("select#kecamatan").html(options);

```

Any help is appreciated.
