To Andrew: What I am trying to do is get a form field to reset a value back to the default selected when a user clicks on the refresh or reload button in the browser, not the page (meaning I am not using <input type="reset" /> to reset the fields). So, for example, lets say this code is:
<form action="processorformquantity.pl" name="heartSearch"> <select name="hsQty" id="hsQty" onchange="proc()"> <option value="0">0</option> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> </select> <br /><input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> As you see the code above displayed in the browser, 0 will automatically be shown in the dropdown box (let's call it the default#). But, if the user changes the default# to let's say 2, and then decides to reset the page for whatever reason using the browser's default refresh or reload button, the user-selected 2, will change back to default# (or 0). The reason is because for some reason, unknown to me, it is a major part of my grade.
