reload

Hi,

How would I reset my asp:DropDownList element (which has a runat="server") to index 0 every time the page is "reloaded" in firefox (F5 is pressed).

If you suggest using javascript...please note that A: I am not using a form and B: I don't know how to access elements that have a runat="server" with javascript

If this can be done using script on the .aspx page....please explain things you think an ASP newb would not know (ie. me, lol)

thanks, Andrew :)
