I have this drop down and I want to auto select the current month on page load, means when ever the user gets to this page at any time the month drop down gets auto selected to current month, can any one help me in this regard I am new to javascript, here is my drop down html code:

HTML:
<select class="customSelect1 floating" id="month" name="month">
                    <option value="1">Jan</option>
                    <option value="2">Feb</option>
                    <option value="3">Mar</option>
                    <option value="4">Apr</option>
                    <option value="5">May</option>
                    <option value="6">Jun</option>
                    <option value="7">Jul</option>
                    <option value="8">Aug</option>
                    <option value="9">Sep</option>
                    <option value="10">Oct</option>
                    <option value="11">Nov</option>
                    <option value="12">Dec</option>
                </select>
 
You really do not need a dropdown to display the date.
Code:
    <p id="today"></p>
   <p id="mon">>
<script>
var today = new Date();

var date = today.getFullYear()+'-'+(today.getMonth()+1)+'-'+today.getDate();

var time = today.getHours() + ":" + today.getMinutes() + ":" + today.getSeconds();
document.getElementById('today').innerHTML=date +" "+ time;

//Change month to words
var me = today.toLocaleString('default', { month: 'long' });
document.getElementById('mon').innerHTML=me;

//OR

var date = today.getFullYear()+'-'+me+'-'+today.getDate();
document.getElementById('mon').innerHTML=date;
</script>
</body>
 
If you still want to use the dropdown:
Code:
<body>
<select class="customSelect1 floating" id="month" name="month">
    <option value="1">Jan</option>
    <option value="2">Feb</option>
    <option value="3">Mar</option>
    <option value="4">Apr</option>
    <option value="5">May</option>
    <option value="6">Jun</option>
    <option value="7">Jul</option>
    <option value="8">Aug</option>
    <option value="9">Sep</option>
    <option value="10">Oct</option>
    <option value="11">Nov</option>
    <option value="12">Dec</option>
</select>

<script>
var today = new Date();
var month = today.getMonth()+1;

document.getElementById("month").value = month;
</script>
</body>
