How about writing clear, coherent sentences in *valid* English?

No? Asking too much? ;)

Well you might do something like this:

Code:

<form id='some-form' method='post' action='whatever.page'>


</form>

Then use a JavaScript function to reset the form

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
     function resetForm()
     {
         document.getElementById('some-form').reset();
     }
</script>

Then choose how you want to reset the form. This is a matter of selecting the right event.. here's an example of clicking a link to reset the form.

Code:

    <a href='javascript:void(0);' onclick='resetForm();'>Reset Form</a>

HTH!

Regards,
Rich

if the form has a NAME property then you could do :

document.<form name>.reset();

or

document.forms['<form name>'].reset();

if it is the third form on the page you could even do :

document.forms[3].reset();
