Question

(As I have issues with mozilla, I have to empty FORM after submission.)

At submit I need to empty FORM values. Is there a neater and simpler way of doing this?

$('#name').val(''); // empty form input
$('#comment').val('');  // empty form textarea
$('#email').val('');    // empty form input

something as: (wrong)

$('#name','#comment','#email').val('');

Answer 1

The plain form .reset()^help method is there for you. Since this method is a native “DOM” method from HTMLInputElement you need to grab the DOMNode from the jQuery object. That can be accomplished by invoking .get(0)^help (which grabs the first element from the jQuery array-like-object) or just access it with brackets.

$('form')[0].reset();

Another option is to use a selector like

$('form input').val('');

If you don’t have the requirement to only clear specific elements.
