Is it possible to set a default value for the HTML Form Web Part for SharePoint? I'm using SharePoint Online and I am using the HTML Form web part to filter a list on the same page. What I would like to do is have no results displayed on the page until a users selects an option from the drop down. I've tried:

<option value=" " selected="selected"> </option>

But that doesn't work.

The above syntax is valid , you should make sure that

  • There are not any event or action set the default value for option control.
  • Make sure that you are using the correct syntax for select tag as the following
<select>
<option value="India">India</option>
<option value="USA">USA</option>
<option value="" selected="selected">  </option>
</select>
