Synopsis

<input type="reset" onclick="handler" ... >
reset.onclick

Description

The onclick property of a Reset object refers to
an event handler function that is invoked when the user clicks on the

Reset button. See the
HTMLElement.onclick reference page for complete
details. Note, however, that Reset.onclick has
been supported since JavaScript 1.0, unlike the generalized
HTMLElement.onclick handler.

The

Reset button has the special
function of resetting all form elements to their default value. The
onclick event handler may add any additional
functionality to the

Reset button.
In JavaScript 1.1, the onclick handler may return
false to prevent the Reset object from resetting
the form. (For example, the onclick handler could
use confirm( ) to ask the user to confirm the
reset and return false if it was not confirmed.)
