<option></option>
Which should give you something resembling no option being selected. Beware, unless you have validation of this field, it is perfectly valid for the browser to submit this ...

I use select with multiple=false and I don't set the parameter's
value. As result I get:
<form name="faqForm" method="post" action="/dp/showFaq.do">
<select name="id" onchange="submit()">
<option value="1">Test1</option>
<option value="2">Test2</option>
</select>
</form>
So none of options has "selected" attribute, but first option is
selected on the page.
I think what you're trying to do is invalid HTML, and the browser is
"fixing" it for you by selecting the first element. In a drop-down
select list, there's really no such thing as having none of the items
selected. Whichever one is "visible" is selected.
If you need to have 'nothing' selected, how about a 'blank' element at the top: <option value="">--Please choose one--</option>
You may not be setting the value, but the form property exists, so it DOES have a value-- null or the empty string, probably.
