Adding the Empty Option and Make it Default Selection
<p>This is driving me nuts! I want to add an empty option and then make it selected. Here is my code: </p>

<pre><code> $(rowToBeAdded.find("select")[0]).prepend("&lt;option selected='selected' value=''&gt;&lt;/option&gt;"); 
</code></pre>

<p>rowToBeAdded is a TR element. </p>

<p>For some reason it always selects the second element.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> </p>

<p>$(rowToBeAdded.find("select")[0]).prepend("").val(''); </p>
