Clear form fields with jQuery

Question

I want to clear all input and textarea fields in a form  It works like the following when using an input button with the reset class       reset   bind  click   function          input type text   textarea   val            This will clear all fields on the page  not just the ones from the form  How would my selector look like for just the form the actual reset button lives in

if you use selectors and make values to empty values  it is not resetting the form  it s making all fields empty  Reset is to make form as it was before any edit actions from user after the load of form from server side  If there is an input with name  username  and that username was prefilled from server side  most of solutions on this page will delete that value from input  not reset it to the value how it was before user s changes  If you need to reset the form  use this       myform   0  reset      if you need not to reset the form  but fill all inputs with some value  for example empty value  then you can use most of the solutions from other comments

the code I see here and on related SO questions seems incomplete   Resetting a form means setting the original values from the HTML  so I put this together for a little project I was doing based on the above code                   input   this                   not   button   submit   reset   hidden                    each function i e                          e  val   e  attr  value                                   prop  checked    false                           prop  selected   false                                     option selected    this  prop  selected   true                 input checked      this  prop  checked    true                 textarea           this  each function i e      e  val   e  html         Please let me know if I m missing anything or anything can be improved

Why you dont use document getElementById  myId   reset      this is the simple and pretty

User · Answer

With Javascript you can simply do it with this syntax getElementById  your-form-id   reset     you can also use jquery by calling the reset function this way     your-form-id   0  reset     Remember not to forget  0   You will get the following error if      TypeError         reset is not a function   JQuery also provides an event you can use         form id   trigger  reset      I tried and it works   Note  Its important to notice that these methods only reset your form to their initial value set by the server on page load  This means if your input was set on the value  set value  before you did a random change  the field will be reset to that same value after reset method is called   Hope it helps
