How to show disable HTML select option in by default?

Question

use

<option selected="true" disabled="disabled">Choose Tagging</option>    

In HTML5, to select a disabled option:

<option selected disabled>Choose Tagging</option>

Use hidden.

<select>
   <option hidden>Choose</option>
   <option>Item 1</option>
   <option>Item 2</option>
</select>

This doesn't unset it but you can however hide it in the options while it's displayed by default.

Electron + React.

Let your two first options look like this.

<option hidden="true">Choose Tagging</option>
<option disabled="disabled" default="true">Choose Tagging</option>

First to display when closed.

Second to display first when the list opens.
