How to reset a form using jQuery with .reset() method?
Reset gets anything back to its original state. JQuery doesn’t have a reset() method, but native JavaScript does. So, we convert the jQuery element to a JavaScript object.
JavaScript reset(): The reset() method resets the values of all elements in a form (same as clicking the Reset button).
- Syntax for JavaScript reset button:
// type-1 <input type="reset">
// type-2 <input type="button" onclick="this.form.reset();">
// type-3 <input type="button" onclick="formname.reset();">
The button itself resets the form but, the type-1 and type-2, the reset button should be inside the form and type-3 can be either out or in.
But a reset button is a far better choice. (type-1)
<input type="reset">
- Syntax for reset():
formObject.reset()
- Syntax to convert jQuery element to a JavaScript object.
$(selector)[0].reset()
or
$(selector).get(0).reset()
If we don’t want to convert the jQuery element to a JavaScript object then we can use the trigger().
As trigger() method triggers the specified event and the default behavior of an event (like form submission) for the selected elements.
Syntax$(selector).trigger(event, eventObj, ...)
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <title>Try jQuery Online</title> <script src= </script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $("button").click(function() { //$("#d").trigger("reset"); //$("#d").get(0).reset(); $("#d")[0].reset() }); }); </script></head> <body> <center> <h1 style="color:green">GeeksforGeeks</h1> <h4> Click on "Submit" to submit and remaining resets to get form to original state. </h4> <form id="d" action="/cgi-bin/test.cgi" name="geek"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="1"> <tr> <td align="center">Username</td> <td> <input type="text" name="name" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">Email</td> <td> <input type="text" name="name" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">Password</td> <td> <input type="password" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <td> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"></td> <td> <input type="reset" value="reset button" /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <br> <input type="button" value="reset() outside form" onclick="geek.reset();" /> <button>resetby jQuery</button> </center></body> </html> |
