I have a form wherr I fill in an item name and immediately after I hit submit the item adds to the select dropdownlist and is automatically selected. Is there a way not to have this newly added item selected?

My code that adds the item looks like this

$("#userGroup_groups").append("<option value="41" selected="selected">item</option>");
