Brett -
Here's the problem: Different browsers handle that
differently. Firefox 2+ won't reset the fields on Reload, only on
Shift-Reload. IE 6.0+ resets on a simple Refresh. What is the teacher using?

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.

The Reload Current Page button in Firefox, and I think the Refresh
Page button in IE, and whatever those buttons are called in other
browsers. NOT with an input button to reset. Thanks.

How do I get a form field to reset itself back to its default
value if the user has changed it?
Without clicking on a refresh/reload button on the page but
instead using the browser's button.
The XHTML Transitional code I have is:
<td><div class="inmiddleof">
<label for="hsQty"></label>
<form action="" 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>
</form>
</div></td>
<td><div class="inmiddleof">
<form action="" name="hSearchoutput">
<input type="text" name="hsTotal" id="hsTotal" />
</form>
</div></td>
