Answer 1

This function is used to clear all the elements in the form including radio button, check-box, select, multiple select, password, text, textarea, file.

function clear_form_elements(class_name) {
  jQuery("."+class_name).find(':input').each(function() {
    switch(this.type) {
        case 'password':
        case 'text':
        case 'textarea':
        case 'file':
        case 'select-one':
        case 'select-multiple':
        case 'date':
        case 'number':
        case 'tel':
        case 'email':
            jQuery(this).val('');
            break;
        case 'checkbox':
        case 'radio':
            this.checked = false;
            break;
    }
  });
}
