In this article, we will implement the reset functionality with the reset() method in jQuery and reset all the input fields of a form. Resetting anything will set everything 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.

Syntax:

$('element_selector')[0].reset();
OR
$('element_selector').get(0).reset();

Example 1: The below example implements the reset functionality using the reset() method and $(‘element_selector’)[0].reset(); syntax:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<head>
    <title>Try jQuery Online</title>
    <script src=
    </script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#resetBtn").click(function(e) {
                //$("#d").trigger("reset");
                //$("#d").get(0).reset();
                e.preventDefault();
                $("#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" 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>
            </table>
            <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
        </form>
        <button id="resetBtn">Reset Form</button>
    </center>
</body>
 
</html>


Output:

formResetter
