[removed] True form reset for hidden fields

Question

Unfortunately form.reset() function doesn\'t reset hidden inputs of the form. Checked in FF3 and Chromium.

Does any one have an idea how to do the reset for hidden f

Answer 1

I found it easier to just set a default value when the document is loaded then trap the reset and reset the hidden puppies back to their original value. For example,

//fix form reset (hidden fields don't get reset - this will fix that pain in the arse issue)
$( document ).ready(function() {
  $("#myForm").find("input:hidden").each(function() {
      $(this).data("myDefaultValue", $(this).val());
  });

  $("#myForm").off("reset.myarse");
  $("#myForm").on("reset.myarse", function() {
     var myDefaultValue = $(this).data("myDefaultValue");
     if (myDefaultValue != null) {
       $(this).val(myDefaultValue);
     }
  });
}

Hope this helps someone out :)
