Re: Reset button not always working
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: --- input type=reset name=reset value=Reset --- At least that's my understanding.

Re: Reset button.
This work thanks, here is the code for anyone else who is interested.
script language=JavaScript1.2
function resetForm(myForm)
{
for(i=0, n=myForm.elements.length; i n; i++)
{
var theElement = myForm.elements[i];
if (theElement.type == 'text') {
theElement.value = '';
}
}
}
/script
html:reset onclick=resetForm(this); return false;Reset/html:reset

An html reset button resets all form fields to their initial values. Look at your html source and you will see something like input type=text value=blah The reset button is functioning properly.

RE: Reset button.
Yeah, the reset button will return the form elements to their initial state. If the
initial state includes values, i.e. input type=text value=someValue, 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 input type=reset onclick=resetForm(this); return false;
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.

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.

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

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)
Thanks

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.

I need the bean in Session scope , so that
when the user returns to the same page using
the back button he should see the radio buttons
selected. He should not lose the selections.Only
when he presses the reset button the radio buttons
should clear.Any ideas , how to do it ???

RE: Reset button does not invoke the FormBean's reset()
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:
form name=frm action=? method=GET
INPUT type=radio name=rdo value=test1test1br
INPUT type=radio name=rdo value=test2 checkedtest2br
INPUT type=radio name=rdo value=test3test3br
INPUT type=submit value=Submit name=submit
INPUT type=reset value=Reset id=reset1 name=reset1
input type=button value=Clear Form onclick=resetForm()
/form
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript
!--
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;
}
}
}
//--
/SCRIPT
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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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