Hello all,
My first post here.
I have an issue with this forms reset button.
In FireFox 2/3 the character counter resets to the default 2500 characters remaining. No issues there.
However In IE 6/7/8 beta 2 the counter resets to 2495.
My knowledge of .js is pretty poor.
I can provide a link to the form if required.
Regards.
