Adding a reset button

You can add a reset button to the form areas so your audience can restore a form to its original state and clear their form entries. This is helpful if the viewer makes a mistake or wants to submit new form data.

Reset buttons must call a CGI script to function properly. For this reason, you won't be able to test their functionality in Edit Page or Preview Page mode.

To add a reset button to the form area:

1. Place the insertion point inside the red border of the form area.
   
2. Choose Forms from the Insert menu and then choose Reset Button from the submenu.
   
   Claris Home Page inserts a reset button form element and opens the Reset Button Object Editor.
   

   

   

   

3. Close the Reset Button Object Editor.
   

When you add a reset button to your form, a default label, Reset, appears in it.

To change this label so that the viewer sees something different:

• Double-click the text Reset in the form element to select it and type the new text.
