'reset' button

I personally despise reset buttons. If a particular client is requesting it, I'd suggest that you use a custom module and use hook_form_alter() to add a reset button to all webform forms.

Granted we may not see a compelling reason to use such and such a feature of HTML, but insofar as it exists--and in this case is a common form element, and Webform is meant to simplify the creation of forms--it looks like an oversight to omit it. But suppose a person were filling out a form and decided that they wanted not to leave the form but merely to start over. A page refresh would be superfluous to that end. A reset button would be the most logical solution. Besides, as Luciano points out, sometimes "the client just wants one". And who wants to tell their client, "I'm sorry, a 'Reset' button is complicated functionality in Drupal. I'd have to bill you a couple extra hours to learn to write a custom module to programmatically add one (and then you won't be able to change it through the web interface)"? All that to say that I too would like the ability to add a "reset" button. But, lest I seem to harshly critical, I would like to say that Webform is a great module, and I really appreciate all the work that's gone into making it so useful--even if I have a little different perspective on this particular, little issue. :) Thanks.

I'm still against this enough that I don't think a single checkbox for "Include a Reset Button" is worth including in the UI, when 99% of people will never want the option (though they might turn on the option even when they don't want or understand it). Adding a reset button through a form alter is not a complicated task.

function mymodule_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
  if (strpos($form_id, 'webform_client_form_') === 0) {
    $form['reset'] = array(
      '#value' => '<input class="form-button" type="reset" value="Reset" />',
      '#weight' => 1001,
    );
  }
}

Interestingly, Drupal in general has found a reset button so useless that the FAPI doesn't even have a built-in #type for it. Hence why you have to just print the straight HTML.

You can add a reset button pretty simply by adding a Markup field with <input class="form-button" type="reset" value="Reset" />.

It works just fine, and if you need it positioned after the submit button, just use css to position.

As I've said above, there are no plans to implement this in Webform.

Drupal 6 version of this hook is:

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if (strpos($form_id, 'webform_client_form_') === 0) {
    $form['reset'] = array(
       '#value' => '<input class="form-button" type="reset" value="'.t("Reset").'" />',
       '#weight' => 1001,
    );
  }
}

Thank you Dave!

<?php

function reset_button_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id)
{

if (strpos($form_id, 'webform_client_form_') === 0 || ($form_id=='user_register_form')) {

$form['actions']['reset'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#value' => t('Reset'),
'#weight' => 100,
'#validate' => array(),
'#attributes' => array('onclick' => 'this.form.reset(); return false;'),
);
}
}
this works for drupal 7..

@quicksketch, I've reopened this issue just to ask you: if someone were to write a patch for Webform that included a reset button component, would you be willing to integrate it into your module?

No probably not. Though if you want to make it a component, you can easily keep that in a separate module by using Webform's hook_webform_component_info().

By doing this you can bring the reset button in webform but you cant arrange the button with submit button. the code i posted will do that too.

@luco
Ya thats right. i gave a suggestion:)

#9 Worked like a charm. Thanks gopisundar!

Thanks gopisundar ......

Currently, i am using the way provide from #5, it works like a charm.haha

#13 Is the best (and easiest) answer in my opinion.

+1 to solution explained in #13. Thanks!!!

You can add a reset button pretty simply by adding a Markup field with .
But its not an best pratice. My suggestion is you may alter the form like this...

function _form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
if (strpos($form_id, 'webform_client_form_') === 0 || ($form_id=='user_register_form')) {
$form['actions']['reset'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#value' => t('Reset'),
'#weight' => 100,
'#validate' => array(),
'#attributes' => array('onclick' => 'this.form.reset(); return false;'),
);
}
}
