Reset selector

The selector :reset selects elements of type reset, which are form clear buttons. The equivalent of $(':reset') is $('[type=reset]'). Since :reset is not part of the CSS specification, for better performance in modern browsers it is better to use [type='reset'] instead.

Syntax

This is how we select elements with type reset:

javascript$(':reset');

Example

Let's select all inputs with type reset and give them a green background and a red border using the css method:

html<form>
  <input type="button" value="button">
  <input type="file">
  <input type="password">
  <button>button</button>
  <input type="reset">
  <input type="radio" name="test">
  <input type="radio" name="test">
  <input type="checkbox">
  <input type="text">
</form>

<

+javascript+> $('input:reset').css({background: 'green', border: '2px red solid'}); $('form').submit(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); // prevents form submission });

<
