Add a reset button to a form

In Page view, do one or both of the following:

Add a reset button

  1. Click in the form where you want to place the reset button (push button).

    If you are inserting a form field but have not already created a form, Microsoft FrontPage will automatically create a form area and insert the field inside that form. The form area will appear as a dashed line when you are editing the page.

    You can insert a new line by pressing ENTER.

  2. On the Insert menu, point to Form, and then click Push Button.

Set the properties of a reset button

  1. Double-click the button.
  2. In the Name box, type a name to identify the button.

    This internal name, which is not shown on the form, identifies the reset button in the form results. It will be visible to the site visitor on the default confirmation page, which is displayed when you use a form handler rather than a custom script.

  3. Click Reset under Button type.
  4. By default, the button label text changes to Reset. You can type a different button label in the Value/Label box.
  5. Click the Style button to access other options for formatting your form using cascading style sheets as an inline style.

Note   To test the functionality of your form, you must first publish your web site to a web server running either the FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft. Ask your web server administrator or Internet Service Provider whether this software is installed on your web server. Once the web site is published, click Preview in Browser Preview in Browser button to test the form.
