A plugin used to be necessary for something like this as IE had some
problems adding html to a select element. In jQuery we were able to
work around this and provide a way to add html to select elements. I
think it is better to not use a plugin if you don't have too. Less
code to push to the browser. You should be able to select and element
like this:
$('#select').append('<option value="" selected="selected">Name</option>');
You can also use .prepend().
