Form clear or reset button

I am customising a contact form for a site and would like to add to new button for the site visitor to use for them to clear or reset the field contents to empty. Can this be done? I so, how?
Thanks

Hi,
You can define a reset button using HTML. Below line of code within the form should do the job for you.
<input type="reset" value="Reset" />
Have a look at the below article to know more about different HTML input type attributes.

  • PDF Form with a reset button

    I designed an interactive pdf form for a company with a reset button. If someone fills it out then sends it to someone, what's stopping the receipient from hitting the reset button and erasing the info the person sent them.

    If you don't want the end user to be able to reset the form at all, you can set up the form so that the user who populates the form before sending it to the recipient sets the default value of the fields equal to the field value, sets the fields to read-only, and removes the reset button. The recipient won't be able to clear the form at all or interact with the fields. They could also flatten the form, which converts the fields to regular page contents, so there are no longer fields present that can be reset. You would also want to remove the Reset button so that it doesn't appear on the page. This can all be done through a script, but Reader is not able to flatten fields.
    If you need specifics, post again.

  • Drop down field data does not clear when reset button is activated

    Acrobat Pro XI
    All field boxes are checked off in the actions tab of button properties... however when I click the reset form button I created only the data in the text fields clear, not any of the data that was selected in a drop down box.  What am I doing wrong?

    The "rest form" command returns the fields to their default values. If that
    value is not a blank one, that's what it will return to.

  • Create a reset button

    On reports page, Is there a way to add a clear or reset button?

    Under Optional URL Redirect, I had the target to be page in this application, for page 2 and clear cache for page 2. Which works well.
    I changed it to URL target and added javascript:gReport.controls.reset(); This also works. That is so wonderful. But is there a way to combine both of these functions all in this clear button? The users would rather have a one stop button that would do both.
    Or is it possible to create another button but create this 3rd button so as when I click the 3rd button, it clicks the other 2 buttons (maybe hide these 2) to create an effect of clicking 1 button when it actually activates 2 buttons.
    Thanks.

    Firefox checks on the server if the file has been modified if you use the back button.<br />
    If the page was requested by sending post data to the server then Firefox sends that post data and asks for confirmation.<br />
    You can try to use the tab history of the Back button skip sites that require sending post data.
    You can also try if it works if you set to never check the server by setting the browser.cache.check_doc_frequency pref to 2.

  • Form Reset Button.. works in Pro., Doesn't in Reader

    I created a form in MS Word 2007 and converted to Actobat Pro 9.2.0 and included a reset and print button. 
    When opening the document in Reader 8.1.3, the reset button only resets some of the fields, although all of the fields are checkmarked in the reset dialog.  Also, when I click the print button, nothing happens.  I've created dozens of Acrobat forms with reset and print buttons and this is the first time I've noticed that they aren't working in Reader.
    Both functions work fine in Pro.  Yes, I am sure that the button behavior is linked to a specific action such as >File>Print for the Print Button.  This happens on more than one computer, so I don't think the problem lies with just my machine.
    Any ideas?

    As a test, what happens if you replace the Reset Form action with the following JavaScript?
    // Reset all form fields
    resetForm();

  • RESET button is not working in EDIT form

    Hi,
    I am going to make news item in xml form,but the created 'Reset' button in edit form is not working in it.Will you please help me?

    The form type needs to be dynamic for such features. Make sure you are setting the SFPDOCPARAMS-DYNAMIC flag to X in your driver program.
    Also most likely the Travel Request form provided by SAP is a Static Print form and if you want that the preview also needs to be dynamic then once you have opened form in LiveCycle Designer go to Edit --> Form Properties -->  Defaults --> Preview Type : Interactive Form and XDP Preview format --> Acrobat Dynamic Form.

  • Clearing the forms after default Save Button pressed

    HI,
    in forms 6i how to clear the form after the save button is pressed, ie the form uses default menu and smart bar. the user wants to clear the form once he selects save from the menu or after pressing the save icon...
    any idea...?
    regards
    Kris

    try on-commit trigger on form level through clear_form procedure but cursor remain stay on the same record
    I think your requirement is that when user commits a record a new blank record appear so also add "create_record" procedure ;
    .but u have to apply some logic on that trigger also it ever fires when user edit/insert/delete a record and commit;
    Hope it clears now!

  • Reset  Button is Not Working For Radio Buttons In Expand to fit Forms

    Dear All,
    I have a dynamic form in which text fields height is set to expand to fit.The functionality of the reset button is working fine if none of the field expand during filling the form but during filling the form if any fields height expands and then we want to reset the form, all fields are getting refreshed but the radio buttons are not getting refreshed.
    I have also tried by writing script on the click event of the reset button to make the rawvalue of the radio buttons as null.Even though it is not working.
    I am usuing Reader 7.0 to open the form.Is there anything wrong in this reader version or is there any other problem?
    If any body can please help me.
    Thanks a lot in advance

  • Send and reset buttons won't work on contact form

    Hey, I'm using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2. I've created a simple contact page, inside a movie clip (because I got it fading in and out), I've put the script on the main timeline, so not inside the movie, but the send and reset buttons won't respond all. I've checked the instance names and spellings are correct, here's the script I'm using:
    contact_tween.send_button.onPress = function() {
             if (name eq "" or subject eq "" or message eq "" or email eq "") {
                   stop();
             } else {
             loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
             gotoAndPlay(211);
    contact_tween.reset_button.onPress = function() {
         name="";
         subject="";
         message="";
         email="";
    so, what am I doing wrong? any help appreciated, thanks.
    ps. contact_tween is the name of movie I created to fade the whole contact page in and out.

    ok, i've got the send button working, it was the script on the keyframe that controls the contact form, i copied the code from an older version of the contact file where the send button works. i've checked all the frames, and made sure there aren't any unnecessary instance names, duplicate or otherwise. only thing is the reset button still doesn't work.
    another thing i'm not sure of, do i need to upload the swf and php files to a server, or should i be able to get a test email in my inbox if i test it from my computer without uploading?

  • Reset Button

    Hi,
    I created a manual search page and put in a resetButton. When i run the page and click on the reset button it clears the input feilds BUT when I click on the submit button and then click on the reset button it doesnt clear the previous input fields. How can I fix this? When i click on the reset button I want all input feilds to be cleared out no matter if they were queried on before or not. Help please.
    Thank you!

    It's a reset button, it will only clear any modified values from the time form is rendered. After you do a submit the page refreshes and gets rendered with the input values which you had entered earlier. Since there is no change you did after the page renderes on submit nothing gets cleared.
    You need to probably add a new clear submit button instead of the reset button and clear the values in your controller when the clear button is submitted.

  • Reset button Acrobat 9

    I add a reset button in a PDF Form. Through PC work fine but when I try to use in my iPad through Adobe Reader doesn't work. I already check any possible update for the app, iPad software, etc. I add another button for Submit Form through email and work fine.
    Please, anybody can help me to fix the Reset Button to be available clear the form.

    ...implementing reset form functionality is of the highest priority in our feature backlog.
    I hope it's implemented as support for the Reset Form action and the resetForm JavaScript method, as opposed to a separate "Reset" button in the app's UI. In other words, it should be initiated by something in the document, not the app, so that the ability to reset a form provided by the form creator. Allowing the app to do a blanket reset of all fields could result in the form being placed in an invalid or unintended state. This is more of a concern for the desktop versions that have complete JavaScript support, but as (if?) the mobile version gain more JavaScript support it will be more of an issue.

  • Using a reset button for a dynamic table

    I have a 6 page form that includes several dynamic tables. There is a reset button that clears only specific parts of the form because it is something that will be filled out weekly and a lot of the information will stay the same. My problem is that I want the reset button to clear specific rows of the table, but reset whatever is typed in the row for every instance in the table. The reset button only clears the row I want in the first column, not all the other columns/instances. Has anyone done this before or have any suggestions?
    I don't want to include the whole script for the reset button because it has about 100 fields to clear but essentially this is what I have for the dynamic table and it works but only for the first column/instance, the rest stay the same:
    xfa.host.resetData("form1.Page1.Subform1.Table1.Row5.Textbox1.somExpression");

    Hi,
    I’m not sure I understand your exact scenario but I use a function in a script object that I pass in a subform (possibly the top subform to reset the whole form) and the function resets all fields within it. 
    function resetData(node)
        if (node.className === "field")
            var enableResetData = node.desc.nodes.namedItem("enableResetData");
            if (enableResetData === null || enableResetData.value === true)
                // reset all fields except those with enableResetData set to false
                node.rawValue = null;
        else
            for (var i = 0; i < node.nodes.length; i++)
                var currentNode = node.nodes.item(i);
                if (currentNode.isContainer)
                    // ignore some form objects
                    if (currentNode.className !== "draw" &&
                        currentNode.className !== "variables")
                        resetData(currentNode);
    If there are any fields that I don’t want reset I put the following code in the initialise event of those fields.  Depending on the number of fields involved you might what to reverse this logic.  (you could also add the desc.enableResetData element in the XML Source view)
    var enableResetData = this.desc.nodes.namedItem("enableResetData");
    if (enableResetData == null)
        enableResetData = xfa.form.createNode("boolean", "enableResetData");
        this.desc.nodes.append(enableResetData);
    enableResetData.value = true;
    This works by storing a value “enableResetData” in the desc element of the field, allowing a generic function to have specific behaviour for particular fields.
    Hope this helps.
