<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >

var orig_default = -1;

function setDefault() {
if (orig_default < 0) {orig_default = document.getElementById("MyList").selectedIndex;}
}

function testReset() {
if (orig_default >= 0) {
    document.getElementById("MyList").selectedIndex = orig_default;
 }
}
</script>
<body onbeforeunload='setDefault();'>

Here are couple of scripts which I have written myself to solve the issue of resetting the value of html upon browser back button click.
