I have tried $("#client.frm").reset(); but it is not working.So how to reset form via jQuery?

form.reset() is a DOM element method (not one on the jQuery object), so you need:
$("#client.frm")[0].reset();
//faster version:
$("#client")[0].reset();
Or without jQuery:
document.getElementById("client").reset();
Note: reset() function does not work if form contains any field with attribute:
name='reset'
You can simply do:
$("#client.frm").trigger('reset')
Pure JS solution is as follows:
function clearForm(myFormElement) {
var elements = myFormElement.elements;
myFormElement.reset();
for(i=0; i<elements.length; i++) {
field_type = elements[i].type.toLowerCase();
switch(field_type) {
case "text":
case "password":
case "textarea":
case "hidden":
elements[i].value = "";
break;
case "radio":
case "checkbox":
if (elements[i].checked) {
elements[i].checked = false;
}
break;
case "select-one":
case "select-multi":
elements[i].selectedIndex = -1;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
Note, function form.reset() will not work if some input tag in the form have attribute name='reset'
The .reset() method does not clear the default values and checkbox field and there are many more issues.
In order to completely reset check the below link -
Clear the form as follows
document.forms[0].reset();
You can simply clear the form elements within the group. by using this forms[0].
Reset (Clear) Form throught Javascript & jQuery:
Example Javascript:
document.getElementById("client").reset();
Example jQuery:
You may try using trigger() Reference Link
$('#client.frm').trigger("reset");
Use JavaScript function reset():
document.forms["frm_id"].reset();
Try this :
$('#resetBtn').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$("#myform")[0].reset.click();
}
You could use the following:
$('[element]').trigger('reset')
Try this code. A complete solution for your answer.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src=""></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(":reset").css("background-color", "red");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="">
Name: <input type="text" name="user"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"><br>
<button type="button">Useless Button</button>
<input type="button" value="Another useless button"><br>
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Use this simple trick to reset the form
_("form_id").reset();
You can clear the whole form using onclick function.Here is the code for it.
<button type="reset" value="reset" type="reset" class="btnreset" onclick="window.location.reload()">Reset</button>
window.location.reload() function will refresh your page and all data will clear.
