There mostly isn't. Form reset lives in the browser. You can't signal the server to do anything from HTML without submitting a form or moving to a new page. But you could cook something up with JavaScript. You would need to stick a little script in the onclear attribute that would signal the server in addition to clearing the form fields. That would also be beyond the scope of this group.

Hi, I have a lot of forms, which store the form data in sessions when submitted, and in case of any errors the server returns to the form page with the errors and all the fields in the form populated with data in the session.
I also have clear form buttons, which are the standard <input type='reset'....> kind. Now I know that because the form fields are populated from the session vars, the clear button will not work.
So how do I get around this??
Is there any way to call REQUEST.SESSION.clear() and then reload the page when the user clicks on the clear form button??
TIA AM
