How to have a drop down list where the default text cannot be selected?

[UndityAttaits]

For example, a drop down list that has the options 1,2 and 3 but has the default text "Make a selection..." without that being a selectable options.If that's confusing here is a fiddle. Basically I don't want you to see "make a selection..." in that example when you click on the drop down. Just 1,2 and 3. I assume it could be done with some javascript but that seems hackish.Code:\[code\]<select> <option>make a selection...</option> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option></select>\[/code\]
