problem with select tag

[Yaragalla Muralidhar]

Hi i am using the select tag as below

<s:select  name="branches"
 headerKey="-1"  headerValue="Select Branch"
       list="branches"                           cssClass="select"
 required="true"  />

by default it should show "select Branch" but it is showing one of the
values as the default value. Am i missing something?

 I want "Select Branches" as the default option.
