setting value of drop down

Hi - I have a drop down on a VF page that displays the number of pages of records.

I want to be able to programmatically set the drop down value to '1' when the user sorts by any column header.

I know this should be pretty simple, but I've been searching for an answer and cannot find anything.....

Here's the VF code for populating the drop down with data from the controller

 

<apex:selectList id="pgnm" size="1" value="{!pagenum}" onChange="changePage(this.options[this.selectedIndex].text);">
             	<apex:selectOptions value="{!pageNumbers}"/>
                </apex:selectList>
                <br/>
                <apex:actionFunction name="changePage" action="{!goToPage}" rerender="out" status="loading">
     				<apex:param assignTo="{!pagenum}" value="" name="pagenum"/>
   				</apex:actionFunction>

 

Here's the code that I want to cause the reset of the drop down to '1':

<apex:facet name="header" >
                    <apex:outputLink onclick="SortByStuLastName();return false;">Student Name</apex:outputLink>
                </apex:facet>

 I've tried adding a javascript function after the return false;  and calling it like this:setPageNum(' {!$Component.ltrowner}') but this did not work...

function setPageNum(val){
		document.getElementById(val).value = '1';
  }

 Your help is greatly appreciated!

I would try it with jQuery. It triggers on the outputLink click and sets the selected option value to 1:

 

<apex:selectList id="pgnm" size="1" value="{!pagenum}" onChange="changePage(this.options[this.selectedIndex].text);">
 ...
</apex:selectList>

<apex:outputLink onclick="SortByStuLastName();return false;" styleClass="linkDummyClass">
    Student Name
</apex:outputLink>


<script>
jQuery('.linkDummyClass').click(function(){
    jQuery('[id$=pgnm] option:selected').val('1');
});
</script>
