I have not tried that. But you can try and let us know if it works. The Reset button's behavior is resetting form field value to initial value when we click it. Even if you clear all form fileds using javascript for onLoad event, it may still have that value='xxxxx' as part of html form and when you click on Reset button, it brings back to initial value.
I like the suggestion made by Robert Tayler to have request scoped form bean and do a redirect(not forward). If you have to clear form fields values when you click on reset button on a error page(when a validation error occurs), then you may have to define a global forward with redirect=true and give that forward name as input for the action. Try something like that and let us know if it works. I personally avoid javascript if I have other solutions.
