I have a form like this, <html> <body> <form> <select name=alphabets id=alphabets> <option value=A>A</option>

I have a form like this,

<html>
<body>
<form>
<select name="alphabets" id="alphabets">
    <option value="A">A</option>
    <option value="B">B</option>
    <option value="C">C</option>
    <option value="D" selected="selected">D</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

When I pull the page the first time, option D is selected. If I select option A from the dropdown, and then do a page refresh, I want the dropdown option to go back to D. On page refresh, I want everything to go back to it’s initial state. But the dropdown displays option A, or whatever was previously selected.

Any idea how can I make the page display option D on page refresh?

Thanks.

    Place the following in a script tag on your page.

     $(function(){
          $('#alphabets option[value="D"]').attr('selected', true);
     });
