Select Default Option if Blank HTML/PHP

Changing your first option to the following will do the trick:

<option <?php echo (empty($output_id) ? "selected='selected'" : ""); ?> value="<?php echo $output_id; ?> "><?php echo $output_status; ?></option>

If the value of $output_id is empty the option will be set to selected.

Dropdown selected default to be the blank option

Can't you just insert an empty option at the top in your view/html?

<select id="OwnerAgency">
  <option></option>
</select>

Or you can add it in javascript.

 var emptyOption = true;
 $.each(data, function (value, key) {
        var opt;            
        if (emptyOption) {
            opt = "<option></optino>";    
            $("#OwnerAgency").append(opt);
            emptyOption = false;
        }
        opt = "<option value=\"" + key + "\">" + value + "</option>";
        $("#OwnerAgency").append(opt);
        });

default select option as blank mvc razor

The educations is a bunch of items you are presenting to the user to select from. Simply add another item to it like this (I am assuming it is called Education):

Model.educations.Insert(0, new Education{Id = -1, Name = "--Select--" });

Then check if that item has been selected and do whatever you need to do.

Leave default option value empty in html select

you can use this

      $client = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT string FROM `file` WHERE 
     `code` = 002 AND `status` = 2");

    echo 'Filter by client: ';
    echo '<select name="client_list"><option value=""></option>';
    foreach ($client as $key => $row) {
        $value = $row->string;
        echo 
       '<option value='.$value.'>'
        .$value. '</option>';
    }
    $client = $_GET['client_list'];
    echo '</select>';

How to make drop-down default to blank

Use append/prepend or appendTo/prependTo to add new empty option to the beginning or end of the list with jquery.

Make sure to run the script after document loaded:

$(function () {
    $("#OwnerId").prepend('<option></option>').val('');
});

$(function () {
    $('<option>', { value: '' }).appendTo($("#OwnerId"));
});
