onreset

Syntax:: onreset="action"

The onreset event occurs when a user resets or clears a form, rather than submitting. The event causes a script to execute that performs a desired task. For example, you could call a function or display an alert box offering additional information to the user.

These six events are useful when dealing with forms and form elements:

onblur - runs a script when the element loses focus.

onchange - runs a script when the element changes.

onfocus - runs a script when the element gets the focus.

onreset - runs a script when the form is reset.

onselect - runs a script when the element is selected.

onsubmit- runs a script when the form is submitted.
