I have a page where there is a button to clear selected values. Some are type = text, some select areas, some checkboxes and one multi select area.

Her is my function (fired onClick of a reset values button):

function resetValues()
{
    document.osirSearch.signalSearch.value='';
    document.osirSearch.hriMin.value='0';
    document.osirSearch.hriMax.value='20';
    clear_checkBoxes();
}

function clear_checkBoxes()
{
     for (var i = 0; i < document.osirSearch.cIDs.length; i++)
     {
        document.osirSearch.cIDs[i].checked = false;
     }
}

This resets any selections made back to the default page loading values. How can I reset a multiselect list in addition to the ones being reset. I wish for this to happen onClick of one button and do not wish to instruct the user to Ctrl + click (which would achieve my objective)

NOTE: If I place (cIds is the name of the multiselect box):
document.osirSearch.cIDs.value='';
inside the function the selections are cleared however when the page is refreshed they appear selected again (unlike all the others)

Hii Matt!!

When page is refreshed ,browser loads the page from cache or server (if there is any content expiry policy), so whenever ur onClick button is clicked ,ur multiselect list is cleared ,ok no probs,but when you refresh the page ,since there is no posting of the data to the server, it only retrieves back your current page from cache(or fresh page from the server), you are getting the multiselect list with values.

you can use javascript cookies to solve this problem, again it also depends on client browser settings.
Hope this will help you

Cheers :)
