While filling the forms in a browser, it is important to provide flexibility to the user to perform multiple operations on a web form. One of a special type button known as reset allows to reset the values in form entered by the user. This button gives the flexibility to perform the reset operation to the user. This button basically wipes out whatever the user has entered the data on the same form. After reset, the form will be populated with default values. This article will see the usage of the reset button in multiple scenarios and how it is used.
The reset operation can be defined on tag or a
Syntax:
<input type = "reset">
Here, Input is a tag used to define the Input element, and type is an attribute used to define the type of input element. The value reset is one of the values that can be passed to this attribute.
Syntax:
<button type = "reset">
The reset is one of the values that can be passed to the Button element’s type attribute. This will reset the form, as said earlier. The other two values supported by this tag are “button” and “submit”.
