Try something like:
\define myfilt() <option value="""[field[$(currentTiddler)$]]"""><$view
field='title' /></option>
<$select tiddler="SERP - Database Analyst - Net Tech - MIS - Help Desk" "
field='dassection' default="-">
<option>-</option>
<$list filter='[tag[section]]'>
<<myfilt>>
</$list>
</$select>
Note the "-" hyphen used as the default. This forces the user to make a
selection. If the user doesn't change the settings of the drop-down,
nothing happens. Obviously, you would want to change the filter that I made
up.
Good luck,
Mark
