[Javascript] How to make a pulldown menu reset?

When I have a pulldown menu that is used in conjunction with popping open a 
separate window (page content based on the option selected), the pulldown 
menu will stay stuck on the "selection" unless I have the page reload as 
part of how I define my function.

What lines of code can I use to make the pulldown menu reset to the default 
item?

Here is my current code:
<script language=javascript>
<!--

function opengallery(newgallery,winwidth,winheight) {
	gallery = newgallery.options[newgallery.selectedIndex].value

	if (gallery != "") {
		window.open(gallery,"gallerywindow","winwidth,winheight");
		window.location.href='flash_photonav.html'; return false;
	}
}

//end hiding-->
</script>

Here is the HTML:
<!--
<select name="galleries" 
onchange="opengallery(this.form.galleries,700,700)">
	<option value="" selected>view a gallery
	<option> _ _ _ _ _ _
	<option value=people.html>portrait gallery I
	<option value=people_II.html>portrait gallery II
</select>

-->

-- thanks, David
