The select has no value, to set a default value you need to make one of the options selected. Something like this
<html:select property="conttitle" styleClass="dropdown">
<html:option value="1" selected="selected">1 - Mr</html:option>
<html:option value="2">2 - Ms</html:option>
</html:select>
Now the default value will be 1.

<html:select property="conttitle" styleClass="dropdown" value="<?=${conttitle}?>">
<html:option value="1">1 - Mr</html:option>
<html:option value="2">2 - Ms</html:option>
</html:select>

nevermind ... I think I misread the original question (sorry).
