Question

When resetting my form, this works: document.getElementById("flagform").reset();

But this does not: $("#flagform").reset();

Trying to understand the difference. The latter has no object reset.

Answer 1

In the Javascript example reset is being run against a DOM element while in the jQuery example it’s running against a jQuery Object. Use the [0] accessor to get the selected DOM element out of the jQuery object.

$('#flagform')[0].reset();
