Re: Reset button not always working

[struts]

The reset should change all values on your jsp page to those matching the 
html page, which would be populated by your ActionForm.

In other words, if you haven't changed any of the values on your web page, 
then the reset would appear to do nothing. Is that the behavior you're 
expecting, or are you expecting it to do something else?

It basically just resolves to the following html in the simplest case:

At least that's my understanding.

This work thanks, here is the code for anyone else who is interested.

function resetForm(myForm)
 {
 for(i=0, n=myForm.elements.length; i< n; i++)
   {
   var theElement = myForm.elements[i];
   if (theElement.type == 'text') {
   theElement.value = '';
   }
   }
 }

RE: Reset button.

[Durham David Cntr 805CSS/SCBE]

Yeah, the reset button will return the form elements to their initial state.  If the 
initial state includes values, i.e. ,  then 
clicking reset will set the value of this element to "someValue", it's original value.

One solution is to write a function that loops throught the form elements and set text 
inputs to '' and so on.

Something like 

and then function would be:  (untested)

resetForm(theForm) {
while (i = 0; i < theForm.elements.length; i++) {
theElement = theForm.elements[i];
if (theElement.type == 'text') {
theElement.value = '';
} else if (theElement.type == 'choose-one') {
theElement.selectedIndex = 1;
}

...
}

If you're not sure what the type attribute will be for a form element, then you can 
alert(theElement.type).  I might have some code I can dig up for this if you need more 
help.

An html reset button resets all form fields to their initial values.  Look

The reset button is functioning properly.

It sounds like your action does not check to see if the reset was clicked or not.  
What I have done is do this check at the beginning of all my action classes.  If the

Hey,
  I don't know if anyone cares, but what I usually do is put a clear method
in most of my ActionForms.  In my JSP, I have a link to clear the form by
simply going to an action and sending a parameter telling it to clear the
ActionForm.  It's a very nice little thing, it avoids JavaScript and is much
easier to use.  It's also much more reusable if I want to be able to clear
the form from a couple different pages, because I just have to throw in a
link instead of blocks of code.

Ok, then what are wanting is 'Clear' functionality, not 'Reset'
functionality.

You need to decide which form elements you want cleared, and just throw in
the script.

Here's some sample code for ya:

test1
test2
test3





<!--
function resetForm(){
dml=document.forms[0];
len = dml.elements.length;
var i=0;
for( i = 0 ; i < len ; i++) {
if (dml.elements[i].type=='radio') {
dml.elements[i].checked=false;
}
}
}
//-->



If you put this in a simple htm file and open it in a browser, you'll notice
a couple of things:
-there are 3 radio buttons (the 2nd one is selected by default)
-there are 3 choices to make (submit, reset, and clear)
-by having action="?" as the action in the form, if you hit
 submit, the form submits to itself. (I also posted with "GET" so
 you can see the value in the address bar)

1. Hit the submit button.  The form just redisplays with a new URL.
2. Now hit the reset button.  Nothing happens.
3. Choose a different radio button and hit Reset.  It just goes back
   to the 2nd one.
4. Choose a different radio button and hit Clear.  I think that's
   what you want.


Let me know if that's not what you are trying to do.

RE: Reset button does not invoke the FormBean's reset()

Thanks James.
I greatly appreciate your help.

Ok, then what are wanting is 'Clear' functionality, not 'Reset'
functionality.

You need to decide which form elements you want cleared, and just throw in
the script.

Here's some sample code for ya:

test1
test2
test3





<!--
function resetForm(){
dml=document.forms[0];
len = dml.elements.length;
var i=0;
for( i = 0 ; i < len ; i++) {
if (dml.elements[i].type=='radio') {
dml.elements[i].checked=false;
}
}
}
//-->



If you put this in a simple htm file and open it in a browser, you'll notice
a couple of things:
-there are 3 radio buttons (the 2nd one is selected by default)
-there are 3 choices to make (submit, reset, and clear)
-by having action="?" as the action in the form, if you hit
 submit, the form submits to itself. (I also posted with "GET" so
 you can see the value in the address bar)

1. Hit the submit button.  The form just redisplays with a new URL.
2. Now hit the reset button.  Nothing happens.
3. Choose a different radio button and hit Reset.  It just goes back
   to the 2nd one.
4. Choose a different radio button and hit Clear.  I think that's
   what you want.


Let me know if that's not what you are trying to do.

RE: Reset button does not invoke the FormBean's reset()

[Gupta, Priyank x57787]

Hey,

 This explanation is awesome.
"...then if the user hits the back button, if (and only IF) the form did NOT
have radios selected, the radios should clear." 
The above scenario in my case is :
"...then if the user hits the back button, the form did HAVE
 radios selected, the radios should clear." How to do that ?

Thanks
Priyank

I'm trying to help you, but I'm not understanding what problems you are
having.

Please describe your use case further.

Example:
Use Case: Complete Personal Information

#1. The user fills out form.
Form:
 Textbox ("firstname"):
  - Max=10 chars
  - Required=lowercase
 Textbox ("lastname"):
  - Max=10 chars
  - Required=lowercase
 Radio Button Choice ("age-range")
   - values coming from application scope bean ("mychoices")
   - Choices are (Iteration 1):
  Key   Value
  1 0  to 21
  2 22 to 40
  3 41 to 60
  4 over 60

Action choices:
 Submit - form is submitted, go to #2
 Cancel - form is cancelled, go to main menu
 Reset  - form is reset (this is an html reset)
 Clear  - form is cleared of all values

#2  When submitted, should save to database
Known Exceptions:
 a. Validation errors - (reference validation table)
 b. Connection errors - (same as above)
 c. blah, blah, blah

#3  Re-Display information (as it was saved)
Action choices:
 a. user must use top level navigation to continue
 b. User hits back button - (this behavior is
disallowed, and enforced with form-based
token validation)



Now, expecting functionality from anything after the user hits the back
button should not be allowed, but as I mentioned in a prior emailif you
do this...

myform.jsp  -> /doForm.do  -> myresults.jsp

...then if the user hits the back button, if (and only IF) the form did NOT
have radios selected, the radios should clear.

**THIS IS IMPORTANT**
Given the same scenario as above, if there are validation errors and the
user is return to the 'myform.jsp' hitting the reset button ***WILL NOT***
reset the fields to what they were before the user hit submit.
Now, if the user hits the back button right now, and the hit the reset
button, then yes, it will do as I said above.


I hope this helps you, if not, then please provide us with more to go on.

Hi JML,
 Thanks for your response. I think using  will post the form and take me to the next page or the same if I 
have that mapping in struts-config.xml. But, is there a way to reset the radio buttons

If i understand your problem, I had same problem last week, this is my solution 

in the formbean : 
   public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
   {  
// init formbean
setText_search(" ");
setType_search("Begin");
   } 

   public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request)
   {  


// if action is not triggered by reset button, validate the data
if (request.getParameter("reset") == null)
{
  ...

   }
}
else  // if action triggered by reset button, initialise data
   {
   reset(mapping, request);
   request.removeAttribute("reset");
   }   
 
return errors;
   }

in the jsp : 
   
 A 

 B

I am not sure what are you talking about.
Anyway, if you have a suggestion please 
let me know. What I explained you wasn't
clear I guess.I press the reset button and 
the radio buttons don't get cleared. Any
ideas ?(only one this time)

Ok, first of all,  its probably not a good idea to have.. 'when the user hits the back 
button it should...' in any of your use casesbut since we all deal the cards we 
are dealt, lets deal with this.

The user hitting the back button has nothing to do with the scope of your bean. When 
the user hits back, the page is pulled from memory on the users pc (or from disk, 
depending on which browser and version)

If the user then hits the reset button, the form should clear back to original values.

This reminds me about a debate I had with PHBs over the difference between "resetting 
the form" and "clearing the form".  They lost of course.

Anyway, hope that helps you a little.

RE: Reset button does not invoke the FormBean's reset()

[Gupta, Priyank x57787]

Hi JML,
 Thanks for your response. I think using 
will post the form and take me to the next page or the same if I have that
mapping
in struts-config.xml. But, is there a way to reset the radio buttons to
unselected 
values without server round trip using some javascript .
Thanks
Priyank

If i understand your problem, I had same problem last week, this is my
solution 

in the formbean : 
   public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
   {  
// init formbean
setText_search(" ");
setType_search("Begin");
   } 

   public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request)
   {  


// if action is not triggered by reset button, validate the data
if (request.getParameter("reset") == null)
{
  ...

   }
}
else  // if action triggered by reset button, initialise data
   {
   reset(mapping, request);
   request.removeAttribute("reset");
   }   
 
return errors;
   }

Ok, first of all,  its probably not a good idea to have.. 'when the user
hits the back button it should...' in any of your use casesbut since we
all deal the cards we are dealt, lets deal with this.

The user hitting the back button has nothing to do with the scope of your
bean. When the user hits back, the page is pulled from memory on the users
pc (or from disk, depending on which browser and version)

If the user then hits the reset button, the form should clear back to
original values.

This reminds me about a debate I had with PHBs over the difference between
"resetting the form" and "clearing the form".  They lost of course.

Anyway, hope that helps you a little.

RE: Reset button does not invoke the FormBean's reset()

[Gupta, Priyank x57787]

Yeah I figured that out. But my problem is little tricky.
I have a set of radio buttons and when I select them , the
selected values automatically get set in a String[]. Now,
when I try to reset the values back to the original state
i.e. all radio buttons unselected , I just reset the String[]
back to the original state in the reset method. When I click the
reset button I should see all radio radio buttons getting unselected
but it's not happening. Something wrong with my browser settings :(
Any help Keith ..

Thanks
Priyank

Subject: RE: Reset button does not invoke the FormBean's reset()


Hey,
This is a mistake I made at first too.  One would assume that a reset button
would call the reset method, but this is not the case.  The reset method is
called when an action is forwarding to a JSP with a form/form bean.  It's
mainly used to set the boolean properties associated with a checkbox to
false, so that they are correctly updated.  (Checkboxes kinda suck like
that).  The reset button is used differently.  It only gets rid of changes
made since you last submitted the form, meaning that it changes the fields
back to what they were when you arrived at the form.  The method and button
are two completely different things.  Does that make sense to you?
I hope this helps.

Hi All,
 I am not able to invoke FromBean's reset() method from the browser.
I have a form with two buttons Submit and Reset. When I click the 
reset button I am not able to invoke the reset() of the FormBean.
Any help will be great.
Thanks
Priyank
