Select form option on page load

I would like to select the option contained within a php variable on page load.

<?php
$pre = 78;
?>

<select id="form8" name="form8">
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="64">64</option>
<option value="78">78</option>
<option value="82">82</option>
</select>

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("form8").val("<?php echo $pre; ?>");
}
</script>

Expected output should be, 

<select id="form8" name="form8">
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="64">64</option>
<option value="78" selected="selected">78</option>
<option value="82">82</option>
</select>

Why not just use HTML to set selected='selected'? Seems easier, and supports non-JS users.
