Question

I have a form in html (generated in php), which contains also a text field.
To submit the form I use a submit button and the results appear on the left side of the page. Now, I would like to add another button which would clean the text in the text field
and resubmit the form (with value="" in the text field). Do you have any idea how to do it?
Simple <input type="reset"> does not submit the form.

Answer 1

your button should be like this:

<input type="button" onclick="DeleteText();" value="Delete text" />

and your javascript code:

function DeleteText() {
   document.getElementById('my_text_input_id').value = '';
   document.getElementById('my_form_id').submit();
}
