Reset button not working properly when page contains error
Hi all, I have a form which contains a reset button (html:reset) and whenever I submit the form and got errors from Action class, it seems that the reset button does not work properly, since when I click on it it does not reset anything.. no matter if I specify my own custom javascript method anyone can help?

Reset button not always working
Dear all, I have a Reset button on a Jsp page: html:reset bean:message key=button.reset/ /html:reset It works at first load. But when I forward to this page from other pages, this Reset button does nothing, it does not reset anything. Does this problem sound familiar to you guys? cheers bruce
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.

problem with reset button in DynaActionForm
Iam using Struts 1.1 beta 2 version.
I have one zipcode search page.it has search criteria fields and search results
table.
case:1
If i enter search criteria and click on reset button it works fine.
case:2
If i enter search criteria and click on search -- iam calling action where iam type
casting as like:
ZipForm form = (ZipForm) frm;
once search is performed.now if i click on reset button the search criteria values are
not resetting to null.
ActionForm looks like:
public class ZipForm extends org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm {
private String searchZipCodeCity;
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
searchZipCodeCity = null;
}
}
struts-config looks like:
form-bean name=zipform type=com.test.ZipForm
form-property name=searchZipCodeCity type=java.lang.String /
/form-bean
Where iam doing wrong?
Thanks,

RE: problem with reset button in DynaActionForm
Reset only resets back to the default values (it renders as an HTML submit)
Since struts puts the values into the html fields (value=blah) that is
picked up as the default values.
Therefore, reset will reset back to what the screen looked like when you
first came in before doing any posts.

RE: problem with reset button in DynaActionForm
I never use the Reset button myself, but afaik its just an html reset button
(the clicking of which resets form properties to the values they started
with when the browser loaded the page (doesnt cause a hit on the server))
and thus has no relation with the actionforms reset() method.

[NEWBIE]Clear fields on a DynaValidatorForm and Reset button
Hi all, I'm using a DynaValidatorForm for my login page with the following text fields: userName password dbName I configured all the properties of the DynaValidatorForm in the form-beans element with the initial attribute set to blanks. The first time I access the form everything is fine; then I submit it, and correctly the next JSP page is shown. In this JSP page I've got a link which call the ForwardAction which will address the user to the Login page again; this time the values I entered the first time are still there, while I was expecting to find blanks in the userName and password(as the dbName is filled dynamically at runtime). Shall I subclass the DynaValidatorForm and override the reset() method? In this case, I should declare the userName and password properties in order to clear them in the reset() method...What would it happen to the properties declared in the struts-config.xml file? Reset Button: - In the same page I inserted two buttons: html:submit... / and html:reset... The second time I access the Login page, when I press the reset button nothing happens, while I would expect the userName and password fields to be cleared. Am I missing something?

Re: Reset button.
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.

RE: Reset button does not invoke the FormBean's reset()
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 :
html:form method=POST action=/freeSearch.do
html:radio property=type_search value=Begin/ A
BR
html:radio property=type_search value=Middle / B
BR
html:text property=text_search size=40 maxlength=80/
html:submit value=Search /
html:submit value=reset property=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.

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 ..

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

Thanks for your response. I think using html:submit value=reset
property=reset/
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;
}
in the jsp :
html:form method=POST action=/freeSearch.do
html:radio property=type_search value=Begin/ A
BR
html:radio property=type_search value=Middle / B
BR
html:text property=text_search size=40
maxlength=80/
html:submit value=Search /
html:submit value=reset property=reset/
/html:form

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

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.

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 ..

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.

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

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:
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.

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

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.

How to make reset button clear all fields
I noticed the following behavior for RESET button in STRUTS framework: The Reset button will clear all fields on the first try. After that, if you encountered validation errors, it seems to remember what have been so far. From that point on, the reset button only clears the new input values. Case in point -- try the struts-example login.jsp and you know what I am talking about. What should I do if I still want to clear all field contents. I tried to use another button declared as input type=reset and it is not working either.

RE: How to make reset button clear all fields
One alternative is to write a JavaScript function that will clear all your text fields. Bind the function to the onClick event of a generic HTML button tag and you're set. Note that this only affects what you see on the screen, it's never touching the server. If you were to hit your new reset JavaScript-based button it'd look cleared; however, if you hit refresh your values would be re-populated. :) Regardless, this suggestion will simulate an HTML reset button.

RE: How to make reset button clear all fields
The Reset button is working the way the HTML specification has it defined just as you described. It only resets the fields that have changed since the page was displayed. In order to work around this problem, I created a ResetAction class that gets called when you click on the reset button. This class either disposes of the FormBean or clears the attributes and posts back to the form page. Hope this helps.

Re: How to make reset button clear all fields
You can try another button (input type button) associated with a method in your bean.

You can use a touch of javascript...
script
funxtion resetForm() {
document.form.reset();
}
/script
a href="javascript:resetForm()"img .../a
