HTMLFormElement: reset() method

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The HTMLFormElement.reset() method restores a form element's default values. This method does the same thing as clicking the form's <input type="reset"> control.

If a form control (such as a reset button) has a name or id of reset it will mask the form's reset method. It does not reset other attributes in the input, such as disabled.

Note that if {{domxref("Element.setAttribute", "setAttribute()")}} is called to set the value of a particular attribute, a subsequent call to reset() won't reset the attribute to its default value, but instead will keep the attribute at whatever value the {{domxref("Element.setAttribute", "setAttribute()")}} call set it to.
