option value=Select... a space before the drop list

[Flolondon]

Please somebody help me,

I am doing an option value select code and i want the interface of the list/menu to show blank instead of a first country, i.e. United Kingdom of a drop down menu. How do i do a blank space so that when the person sees the search form they will see a blank space instead of a country in the box instead.

i want a blank view instead first.

<option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>

thanks..
