JavaScript

function reset(file_upload)

alert('hi');
document.getElementById("tr1").style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById("file_upload").reset();
return false;
}

where file_upload is the id oh the form and tr1 is the id of the particular field i want to hide.

Solution 1

modify your code as shown below - (replace file_upload with this.form)

HTML

<input type="reset" value="" class="ResetButton1" name="rst_btn" id="rst_btn"  önclick="return reset(this.form);"></input>

then, in your JavaScript function,

JavaScript

function reset(formObj)
{
    alert('hi');
    formObj.reset();
    document.getElementById("tr1").style.visibility="hidden";
    return false;
}

Hope it may help you out...

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Niral Soni

I modified the code as you send but the problem is it is not even calling the javascript function(reset())when i clicked on the reset button.I kept the alert message just for checking whether the function is calling or not it is not displaying the alert message.I understood that it is not calling the javascript function.What might be the problem

try renaming the function reset to resetForm (as reset being the keyword)
