How do I default a selection using Dropkick in the HTML?

I want to pre-select a certain option in a dropdown list and want to use the "selected" parameter in HTML to select it. Is this possible?

                        <option value="@cat.ID" 
                            @if(cat.ID == 2){
                                @: selected );
                            }
                        >@cat.Category</option>

To select a default option, you can do this:

var elm = new Dropkick("#select");

// Select by index
elm.select(4); //selects & returns 5th item in the list

// Select by value
elm.select("AL"); // selects & returns option with the value "AL"
