Item Condition (uploadproduct.tmpl) edit

I was not fond of the default way that uploadproduct.tmpl had "excellent" as the default option as many users would be prone to selecting it.

To resolve this, I decided to make the default option "Please Select" leaving the value blank.

</td>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}"><select name="rating">
<option selected="selected" value="">Please Select</option></option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['poor']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['poor']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['fair']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['fair']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['good']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['good']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['great']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['great']}</option>
<option value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['excellent']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['excellent']}</option>
</select>
</td>

When they do not select anything the condition field appears blank. I much prefer this to "excellent" showing up for everyone's posts.

I am concerned though, is it ok to be leaving the value="" blank like I have above? Any possible adverse affects to doing this?

<option selected="selected" value="">Please Select</option>

Is there a better way to go about doing this? Thanks.

there are no adverse reactions that I see in doing that
