Q838 How can I reset the value of form fields if the page is revisted?

Use HTML to provide a default value:

<FORM NAME="myForm">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="">
</FORM>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
document.myForm.reset();
//--></SCRIPT>

If that doesn't work then:

<FORM NAME="myForm">
<INPUT NAME="myField" TYPE="TEXT">
</FORM>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
document.myForm.myField.value = '';
//--></SCRIPT>
