I tried but it didnt work, not sure I explained correctly the issue, I`ll try again I have a list of items in the dropdown menu the first line is "--Select Route--" the rest are the different routes to be choosen. when I choose an item from the list its directed to a page (which is what I wanted) but when I go back to the dropdown menu, the last item choosen is on top of the list instead of "--Select Route --" So what I would like to do is to have some kind of code to make sure after the item is choosen "--Select Route --" remain on the top of the list

You could use this as calculation script:

if(event.value != "-- Select Route --")
event.value = "-- Select Route --";

When you make selection it will jump to that page and return selection to "-- Select Route --".

You can use this "pageNum = ;" to skip to that page.

For example if you select "Item1" from dropdown you want to skip to page 5, or if "Item2" you want page 10, code would be:

if(event.value == "Item1") this.pageNum = 4;

else if(event.value == "Item2") this.pageNum = 9;

Pages start from 0 (page 1 = 0, page 2 =1...etc)
