Reset all select dropdowns

With raw javascript code, we can do the following,

elements = document.getElementsByTagName("select")
for(i=0; i < elements.length ; i++){
 elements[i].selectedIndex= 0;
}

function displaymessage() {
    $("select").each(function() { this.selectedIndex = 0 });
}

this selects the first option (not necessarily having value = 0)

How about something like:

$(window).unload(function () {
    $("select").val("0");
});

Here´s a way to select the first option in all selects using native JavaScript;

var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
{
    elements[i].selectedIndex = 0;
}

...but jQuery is very handy and makes most things much easier.
