how to clear multibox selection on browser back

[sri kota]

Hi,


I have a page where i show up different options to select. I am holding the selection using multibox. On submit of the page, I use these values to show the details of the selection.
I am doing a check on minimum selection onsubmit in javascript.
this check uses a global variable count to check the count of the selection.

When the user hits browser back, the multibox selection is retained but, the count is zero.. so my minimum check never allows me to submit the form.
I want to clear the selection of the multibox when the user hits the browser back to go back to previous page(jsp).

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Please show your code

You can try something, like

window.setTimeout(yourMethod,1000);
function yourMethod()
{
document.getElementById('combobox').value='0'; //for e.g
}

yourMethod() will be called, after the page loads.
