Submit and Reset at the same time?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 16.2006

Is it possible to Submit a form and have an onclick reset the form at the same time while opening a new “thank you” window? I have tried this way but in my forms output I just get a “?” for each field I typed data into.

<input type=”submit” value=”Submit” onclick=’reset()’>

@HDCauthorFeb 16.2006 — Thanks felgall, that did work however in my output the field data turned into a "?" for each character in every field. Is this a problem with my cgi script or javascript? When I take out the onsubmit I get the correct data output for each field. This is the code I'm using.

<FORM action="/cgi-bin/xxx.pl" name="f" target="_new" onsubmit="this.reset()">

Success!
