CFSELECT selected parameter

[CF Coder2]

Sorry if this has been discussed but I'm finding that in the following CFSELECT code, the "selected=8" parameter has no bearing on the default pulldown that's selected when the page is visited.  It appears to basically be broken and a useless parameter.  Have others seen this? Or is this a pilot error?

  <cfselect name="selectMon" selected="8" required="yes" message="Please select a month for Call Date">
  <option value="1">Jan</option>
  <option value="2">Feb</option>
  <option value="3">Mar</option>
  <option value="4">Apr</option>
  <option value="5">May</option>
  <option value="6">Jun</option>
  <option value="7">Jul</option>
  <option value="8">Aug</option>
  <option value="9">Sep</option>
  <option value="10">Oct</option>
  <option value="11">Nov</option>
  <option value="12">Dec</option>
  </cfselect>
