{{APIRef("DOM")}}
The clearParameters() method of the {{domxref("XSLTProcessor")}} interface removes all parameters (<xsl:param>) and their values from the stylesheet imported in the processor. The XSLTProcessor will then use the default values specified in the XSLT stylesheet.
clearParameters()
None.
None ({{jsxref("undefined")}}).
This example shows how clearParameters() can be used to reset all parameters back to their default values as specified in the XSLT stylesheet.
