Exclude a field from refreshing

Is it possible to exclude a certain field from refreshing using Javascript(The whole form refreshes except a certain field)?

Thanks!

A quick solution.
Instead of a reset button have a standard button and set its onclick handler to "selectiveReset(this.form)", assuming the element whose value you want to preserve is named "txtSpecial":

Code:

function selectiveReset(frm)
{
  var oInput = frm["txtSpecial"];
  var sValue = oInput.value;
  frm.reset();
  oInput.value = sValue;
}
