@mityaJun 08.2004 — Form-clearing is a client-side and post-HTML (as opposed to pre-html, like PHP) process and it's done in javascript.

On your clear button, add: onClick="clear();"

In your head section:

<Script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function clear() {

document.getElementById('formfieldname').value = '';

}

</script>

@mityaJun 08.2004 — Eh?

You asked how to clear a form, not handle it and deal with vars. Outline your situation and we can be more useful.

Login

<form action="getin.php" method="post" target="content" name="form">

Username:<br> <input type="text" name="username" size="10" value=""> <br>

Password:<br> <input type="password" name="password" size="10" value=""><br>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" value="submit" class="black">

</form>

@MstrBobJun 13.2004 — o.O? When you click submit, the form is going to go to getin.php You won't see a form, as the browser will be at getin.php Unless getin.php is the page you just gave us, in which case the form will be cleared anyway.
