Use hidden    x000D   x000D   lt select gt  x000D      lt option hidden gt Choose lt  option gt  x000D      lt option gt Item 1 lt  option gt  x000D      lt option gt Item 2 lt  option gt  x000D   lt  select gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    This doesn t unset it but you can however hide it in the options while it s displayed by default

You can set which option is selected by default like this    lt option value    selected gt Choose Tagging lt  option gt    I would suggest using javascript and JQuery to observe for click event and disable the first option after another has been selected  First  give the element an ID like so     lt select id  option select  name  tagging  gt    and the option an id      lt option value    id  initial  gt Choose Tagging lt  option gt    then    lt script type  text javascript  gt      option select   observe click  handleClickFunction     Then you just create the function   function handleClickFunction       if     option select   value      option select            initial   disabled true

I know you ask how to disable the option  but I figure the end users visual outcome is the same with this solution  although it is probably marginally less resource demanding   Use the optgroup tag  like so     lt select name  tagging  gt       lt optgroup label  Choose Tagging  gt           lt option value  Option A  gt Option A lt  option gt           lt option value  Option B  gt Option B lt  option gt           lt option value  Option C  gt Option C lt  option gt       lt  optgroup gt   lt  select gt

If you are using jQuery to fill your select element  you can use this    html   lt select id  tagging  gt  lt  select gt    js  array of options     Choose Tagging    Option A    Option B    Option C      each array of options  function i  item        if i  0    sel op    selected   dis op    disabled     else   sel op       dis op                 lt option     sel op         dis op      gt    val item  html item  appendTo   tagging           This will allow the user to see the first option as a disabled heading   Choose Tagging    and select all other options
