Hi,

Pretty sure I'm not the first to run into this issue, but haven't been able to solve it:

I have a self-referring form that does server-side validation and colors red the incorrectly filled fields, keeping all the inputted data, of course.

Problem is, now the CLEAR button *apparently* does not work since it appears to just revert to the HTML field values now set to the inputted data.

How to create such a button that does work? (I use VBS.)

Thanx!

Hi, try this client-side script instead =)

<script language="javascript">
function clearAll() {

for (j=0; j<document.form1.elements.length; j++) {

if (document.form1.elements[j].type == ("text" || "textarea" ) //for clearing text and textarea
document.form1.elements[j].value=''

if (document.form1.elements[j].type == "checkbox" //for clearing checkbox
document.form1.elements[j].checked = false;

if (document.form1.elements[j].type == "select-one" //for clearing list/menu
document.form1.elements[j].selectedIndex = 0;

}

}
</script>

I did try the Javascript, but wasn't able to achieve the desired effect, though it could be due to my being totally ignorant when it comes to deploying JS.

I did come up with a solution utilizing a button-like image that triggers Session.Abandon, and that did the job.

Anyway, thank you for replying!

PS: In my particular app Session.Abandon is acceptable, though I imagine it wouldn't be in other cases.
