How to clear all the input in HTML forms?
Using HTML forms, you can easily take user input. The <form> tag is used to get user input, by adding the form elements. Different types of form elements include text input, radio button input, submit button, etc.
The <input> tag, helps you to take user input using the type attribute. To clear all the input in an HTML form, use the <input> tag with the type attribute as reset.
Example 1
The following example demonstrates how to clear all the input in HTML forms.
In this example, we are going to use the document.getElementId() to clear the text in the text field.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Remove HTML</title> </head> <body> <form> <input type="button" value="click here to clear" onclick="document.getElementById('inputText').value = '' "/> <input type="text" value="Tutorix" id="inputText" /> </form> </body> </html>
When we click on the clear button the text inside the input(text area) field gets cleared.
Example 2
The following example demonstrates how to clear all the input in HTML forms.
In this example, we are going to use the rest button to clear the text in the text field.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Clear all the input in HTML forms</title> </head> <body> <form> <input type="text" name="input" /> <input type="reset" value="reset" /> </form> </body> </html>
When we click on the clear button the text inside the input(text area) field gets cleared.
Example 3

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Clear all the input in HTML forms</title> </head> <body> <form> <input type="text" value="Tutorix is the best e-learning platform" onclick="this.value=''"/> </form> </body> </html>
