asp_web_howto thread: INPUT Type="Reset"

Hi.
I have a form with 2 list boxes. List box1 is populated with rows from a
table. The user can select options from list box1 and have them added to
list box2. They can also remove options from list box2 back to list box1.
I have a reset button on the form but when I click on it, the list boxes
are not reset. For the heck of it, I added a text input object and that
was reset when I clicked on the reset button.
Other than repopulating list box1 with the record set and clearing out
list box2, is there something I'm missing regarding resetting the 2 list
boxes?
TIA.
Rita

All that Reset does is set the fields back to the values that they had when
the page was loaded initially.
So if a text field is defined like this
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="Some Text">
and you type something else into the field, and then hit Reset, the field
will contain the text "Some Text" again. Likewise if it was empty to begin
with, then it is cleared by the Reset button.
For drop-downs, if an item was selected initially (With <OPTION SELECTED>,
then when you hit reset, that item is selected again. Likewise if no item
was selected, whatever item is now selected will be deselected.
So basically if you want the reset button to remove the options that were
added at run time, you will need to write your own code that will remove
these items, and clear the other fields.

Hi Alex.
Thanks for that great explanation. I did land up writing my own code.
