Reset Button Query

rsm42 · April 3rd, 2007, 01:58 PM

Hi,

I have a submission form that I have designed and within the form there is a reset button that clears all of the fields. Basically I used the logic when you click on the button it clears each textbox's entry using quotation marks. I tested this ideas successfully within a simple form. However when applied to my form this does not clear the text boxes. The form uses required validators and regular expressions

Any ideas ? The code is asp.net 1.1 using vb.net :

Code:

 Sub Reset_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        If Page.IsPostBack Then

        txtName.Text = " "
        txtHouse.Text = " "
        txtStreet.Text = " " etc....
              End If
    End Sub

 Form code....

 

<table class="cellfillalt" height="150" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" width="420" align="center" border="1">
                <tbody>
                    <tr>
                        <td width="110">
                            <p align="right">
                                <asp:Label id="lblTitle" runat="server" cssclass="mandatory">Title:</asp:Label>
                            </p>
                        </td>
                        <td width="200">
                            <p align="center">
                                <asp:TextBox id="txtTitle" runat="server" CssClass="txtbox"></asp:TextBox>
                            </p>
                        </td>
                        <td width="110">
                            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="RFTitleValidator" runat="server" CssClass="formerror" ControlToValidate="txtTitle" ErrorMessage="Enter your title e.g. Mr, Mrs." ForeColor=" "></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <p align="right">
                                <asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" cssclass="mandatory">Full Name:</asp:Label>
                            </p>
                        </td>
                        <td width="200">
                            <p align="center">
                                <asp:TextBox id="txtName" runat="server" CssClass="txtbox"></asp:TextBox>
                            </p>
                        </td>

Do you manually wire up the click event with Addhandler? If not you need to add: Handles btnReset.Click after your method signature.

Also, I see a possible bug in your code. You arent really clearing your textboxes, you are replacing the values with a non breaking space (whitespace) which may cause your validators to not fire since there is actually data present in the textbox, albeit just white space.

hth.

Thanks,

There is an event handler set. With regards your second point, what are the other alternatives for clearing the dields on the form, thanks ?
