Dear experts!

I have a form (<FORM NAME="config"...) on a HTML page, containg a lot of inputs (tempattr5, num_Bi, ...). I clear these by this little script (launched when clicking a button):

function form_clear()
{
document.config.tempattr5.value="";
document.config.num_Bi.value="";
document.config.num_Bf.value="";
document.config.num_Bc.value="";
document.config.num_f1.value="";
document.config.num_f2.value="";
document.config.num_Dk.value="";
document.config.num_Dc1.value="";
document.config.num_Dc2.value="";
document.config.num_alpha.value="";
document.config.num_beta.value="";
document.config.num_d.value="";
document.config.MeanGrindingAllowance.value="";
document.config.PeakGrindingAllowance.value="";
document.config.DesiredSurfaceRoughness.value="";
return true;
}

Since this kind of procedure is wanted on a lot of pages, I wonder if there is any way to clear all inputs of the form "config". You see, there are different elements in evey page, and I would not like to waste my time finding and listing them all. Something like...

for all inputs X in document.config do X.value="";

Anyone that can help me?

Best regards, Sebastian.

Use the reset button within your <FORM> tags:

Code:

<input type="reset" value="Clear Fields">

The reset button erases all the information in all the fields in the form.

Thanks, Snaip, but that's not what I'm after.
The method you propose will reset all fields to their original values, not clear them. For example a tag like
<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="1.23">
will be resetted to "1.23". I want them to go blank.

Any more ideas?

How about adding this onSubmit function to your form:

Code:

<FORM name="myForm" onSubmit="document.myForm.content.value=''">

Hmmm... Still, Ahmad, I don't think you really understand my needs

Since english is not my native language, I understand that I can be hard to follow from time to time.

Really, I want a button located in the end of the form, acting exactly like the "Reset" button you proposed earlier, but instead of resetting the values in the different inputs of the form, it will clear them.

Sorry for giving you a hard time!

Finally got you, but I fear I don't really have an answer to your prob...

OK, thanks for all your troubles. Got an excellent answer on another place. I might as well share it with you:

for (i=0;i<document.config.elements.length;i++)
{
if (document.config.elements[i].type == "text")
{
document.config.elements[i].value="";
}
}

Here, I am also testing if it is a text box, to avoid clearing for example buttons.
