Tutorial 13: Giving Form to Forms

Reset buttons

A reset button, when activated, will reset all controls in a form back to their default values, whatever they may be. A reset button may be useful in a large form if the user might want to start over from scratch. Reset buttons have a TYPE of reset. Reset buttons may be given a name, but they never create a name/value pair for form submission. The value of the VALUE attribute is the text that is displayed on the button.

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/html/formdump.cgi" 
      METHOD="GET" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<P>Enter your name:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="firstname" VALUE="First" SIZE="10">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="lastname" VALUE="Last" SIZE="10">
<P>Enter your e-mail address:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email" SIZE="30">
<P>Subscribe
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="action" VALUE="subscribe"  CHECKED>
Unsubscribe
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="action" VALUE="unsubscribe">
<P><INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Start Over">
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
</FORM>
