Are you using some JS/Server side function for 'Cancel' button ? — Apurv, Apr 01 '13 at 05:10
No, I am just closing the pop-up,when CANCEL is clicked, here is the code — ziaur25, Apr 01 '13 at 11:49
Can you update your question with the above statement. Also share the code present in `closePoUpWindow()` function. — Apurv, Apr 01 '13 at 12:14

Can you just reset the "#{myController.count}" on panel opening? The problem is you put immediate="true" on selectOneMenu, so on the clicking cancel button the form is submitted and all processes like validation, conversion, update model occur in "apply request values" phase. That's why you see the last value. So either you remove immediate="true" from selectOneMenu and put it on cancel button, or must reset "#{myController.count}" on the button click, which opens the panel.

check the below cases for the problem

1.I think you are using <t:savestate> to this variable count.. If that is the case please remove.
2. Check the constructor of the bean weather u r setting any value for this variable count.

if above are not the case you better use java script I suggest

onload of page set the default value to the dropdown.
Use onclick event to cancel button and call the java function to set the drop box value to 1..
