The INPUT type=reset element renders a button that, when clicked, resets the form's controls to their initial values.

The default button label is application-specific, but authors can use the value attribute to provide a noneditable label to be displayed on the button.

INPUT Members

The following sample shows a simple form that allows the user to enter a first name, last name, email address, and gender. When activated, the reset button resets all controls to their initial values.

Below is the HTML fragment for the sample above.
