Clearing values of input boxes

Question

Can any one Help me with the problem i am having with clearing the values for several input text fields from the generated HTML page. so the user can press the back button and all the fields are clear in the previous page.
this is my line of thought so far
<code>
private void populateDates()
//UIComponent component = new HtmlInputText();
// NOTE: myBooking should not be null when this is called, and all dates should
// be valid
String defaultDatePattern = "EEE dd MMM yy";
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(defaultDatePattern);
if (!StrUtil.isEmpty(date1))
log.debug("the first date is" + date1);
BookingDate d1 = new BookingDate();
try
d1.setDate(df.parse(date1));
log.debug("date1 should have been put into the model size is " +
myBooking.getDates().size());
catch (ParseException ex)
log.error("date1 is invalid, how did it get past the validator? " +
ex.getMessage());
try
myBooking.getDates().add(d1);
log.debug("date1 now should have been put into the model its size is " +
myBooking.getDates().size());
catch (Exception ex)
log.debug("date1 is not adding to the date model" + ex.getMessage());
try
// UIInput textBox = (UIInput) component;
//textBox.setValid(true);
// log.debug("about to set border for date1" + component.getId());
// ((HtmlInputText) textBox).setStyle("border:1px #ccc solid;");
// log.debug("about to set value for date1");
// textBox.setValue("");
catch (Exception ex)
log.debug("Not able to clear date1" + ex);
</code>
Thanks to all that can help

Try this in your form :
<inputText - - - - - - - - - - redisplay = "false">
