HTMLFormElement: reset event

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The reset event fires when a {{HTMLElement("form")}} is reset.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like {{domxref("EventTarget.addEventListener", "addEventListener()")}}, or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("reset", (event) => { })

onreset = (event) => { }

Event type

Examples

This example uses {{domxref("EventTarget.addEventListener()")}} to listen for form resets, and logs the current {{domxref("Event.timeStamp")}} whenever that occurs.

HTML

<form id="form">
  <label>Test field: <input type="text" /></label>
  


  <button type="reset">Reset form</button>
</form>
<p id="log"></p>

JavaScript

const log = document.getElementById("log");

  log.textContent = `Form reset! Timestamp: ${event.timeStamp}`;
}
