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         


        

Answer 1

Some of you were complaining that radios and such are cleared of default "checked" status... All you have to do is add the :radio, :checkbox selectors to the .not and the problem is solved.

If you can't get all the other reset functions to work, this one will.

• Adapted from ngen's answer

  function form_reset(formID){
      $(':input','#'+formID)
      .not(':button',':submit',':reset',':hidden',':radio',':checkbox')
      .val('');
  }
