Answer 1

Let us say if you want to clear the fields and except accountType,in the mean time dropdown box will be reset to particular value,i.e 'All'.Remaining fields should be reset to empty i.e text box.This approach will be used for clearing particular fields as our requirement.

 $(':input').not('#accountType').each( function() {

    if(this.type=='text' || this.type=='textarea'){
             this.value = '';
       }
    else if(this.type=='radio' || this.type=='checkbox'){
         this.checked=false;
      }
         else if(this.type=='select-one' || this.type=='select-multiple'){
              this.value ='All';
     }
 });
