I have a select box on a page that has a default option "Select something".
I use an onChange event handler which works fine if the default option
appears in the select window.

However, when the user selects something, that option appears in the window
as the page is changed. When the user returns to the sending page (using the
"back" button) the page doesn't actually reload and the previous selection
is now the selected option. :-(

Can I put some code on the original page, or on the child page, so that when
the user returns, the select box is reset to the original list order?

Hi Walter and Group,

Your suggestion didn't work. The problem seems to be that the page doesn't
actually "load", but is just called from the cache by history.

I've read a bit more and found a "HardReload". That's supposed to force
resetting form elements to their original values. It didn't work either.

What other approach might allow me to restore the select option list to its
original order?
