When a user uses go back button on the browser, my select does not default back to its original state. So far I have:

Code: 
...
function clearState() {
		document.getElementById("st").options[document.getElementById("st").selectedIndex].value = "";
		}
...

<body onload="clearState();">

any help?

What do you mean its "orginal state"? Do you mean go to the first select option in the list every time the back button is pressed?

Try this...
Code: 
var dropdown = document.getElementById("st");
dropdown.selectedindex = 0;
dropdown.options[0].selected = true;

I think that may work
