Reset data - Javascript

Shabam

I have a text field that's pre-filled with data. Suppose the user edits it,
but decides he wants to reset the data back to the original pre-filled data,
how can I do that?

Is there a way to do this by a link instead of a button?

One more thing, is it possible to reset just a subset of items within a form
instead of everything?

Read the FAQ with regards to top-posting.

<a href="" onclick="docume nt.forms['myForm'].reset();return false">Start
Over</a>

Or better, make your button appear as a link (which is a better solution).

Read the FAQ with regards to quoting what you are replying to.

And you are wanting to reset certain fields back to there defaults and
leave others alone?

Create an array that contains each fields original value when the page
is loaded along with its default state (if it has one). Then loop
through your form and set the .value or default state of the ones you
want to reset.

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ang.javascript

Is the c.l.j. archives on google, happy searching.

What you want to find is:

1) How to loop through the form elements.
2) How to determine there type/value.
3) How to create an array containing that data.
4) How to "reset" it to its default state.
Hint: That will involve determining its type, looking up its
default state, and then resetting it.

Radio Button, Checkbox, Select, Text Input(includes a textarea).

Hopefully you will find your research an enlightening experience.

If you get stumped, post back with a URL to your un-finished script for
more guidance.
