A
A "reset" input field is defined as <input type="reset" .../>.
"reset" input fields can be used to create reset buttons in a form.
When a reset button is clicked, the form will be refreshed by replacing
user entered values with default values. Only one other attribute that
is useful to this "reset" input type:
- value="buttonValue" - Specifies the value to be displayed on the reset button. The default is value="Reset".
Here is a tutorial example with two reset button input fields:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
