Use reset button in form

[lucerias]

How to use the following button, which is a reset button to reset all the text of list field in a particular form back to default value? Thank you.

<td width="30%"><input title="RESET_BUTTON" accessKey="{APP.LBL_CLEAR_BUTTON_KEY}" class="button" onclick="this.form.action.value='clear'" type="submit" name="button" value="  RESET " ></td>

Umm... all you have to do with a reset button is place it in your form:
[code]
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset" />
[/code]

It will automatically clear all your fields when you click on it. I'm not sure I follow what you're after.

It don't really clear the form, it resets the form to the value specified by the value attribute. So if value is "something" then it will be changed back to "something" if the reset button is clicked, but if you do not use the value attribute then this is not a problem.

Or you can use the .reset() method.

Then can i code on the onclick action to specify which field set to what value? If that is the case, may i know how to code for the onclick action?

WHY?

<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset" />

That does it all for you - only use js when your really have to and if you just want the defaults then you don't need it.

One reason I could think of is simply to use a link instead of a button.

To answer the question posed above, just call the javascript function like you would for submit() on a form:
[code]
<a href="#" onclick="document.formName.reset();">reset</a>
[/code]
