How to catch reset of a form not before, but right after the event?

Hello. Can anybody read this and come up with the solution? I would
appreciate any input.

In my form I have two fields (Field1 is select and Field2 is text input).
Field1 has "onchange" event which fires a function which hides or displays
Field2 depending on chosen value of Field1 by means of manipulating style
"display" property setting it to "none" or "inline".

Everything works fine, but only problem is reset button. When Field1 is
reset then onchange for Field1 is not triggered. So, I have a situation when
Field2 is displayed or hidden when it should not be according to value
Field1.

I tried to use "onreset" event to put there the logic of hiding/displaying
of Field2, but this event seems to trigger BEFORE and not right AFTER reset.
So, I don't have reset value of Field1 at that moment.

Thanks

Call the same function when the user hits reset.

<input type="reset" onclick="whatev erFunctionToCle arBoxes();">

Another alternative:

<input type="button" onclick="...... ..">

And let the function use .reset() to programatically reset the form.
Then, you can control what order it gets reset in.

Hi, Can anyone tell me why in the code below, the call to ClearChildViewState() has no effect? To paraphrase the code: I'm using view state. I have a textbox and a submit button (and a label that can be ignored). When I press the button the first time, the click handler hides the textbox. Pressing the button a second time unhides the textbox. The text box is maintaining its value when hidden via view state. (The value is NOT being...

Now this is bugging me. I just released software for a client and they have reported an unhandled stack overflow exception. My first concern is that the entirity of the UI and any threaded operations are all within Try Catches to help me locate the problem and the origination of any problem by specifiying an error code in the "Catch" section. So theoretically this shouldn't have been possible (at which point we all say "yeah,...
