How to reset a form using jQuery with .reset() method

I had working code that could reset my form when I click on a reset button. However after my code is getting longer, I realize that it doesn't work anymore.

<div id="labels">
  <table class="config">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th colspan="4"; style= "padding-bottom: 20px; color:#6666FF; text-align:left; font-size: 1.5em">Control Buttons Configuration</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Index</th>
        <th>Switch</th>
        <th>Response Number</th>
        <th>Description</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>            
      <form id="configform" name= "input" action="#" method="get">
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">1</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" value="" id="number_one"></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text"  id="label_one"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">2</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id = "number_two" value=""></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text"  id = "label_two"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">3</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="number_three" value=""></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="label_three"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">4</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="number_four" value=""></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="label_three"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td></td>
          <td><input type="submit" id="configsubmit" value="Submit"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><input type="reset" id="configreset" value="Reset"></td>
        </tr>
                  
      </form>
    </tbody>
  </table>
            
</div>

And my jQuery:

$('#configreset').click(function(){
    $('#configform')[0].reset();
});

Is there some source that I should include in my codes in order for the .reset() method to work? Previously I was using:

<script src="static/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="static/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>

and the .reset() method was working.

Currently I'm using

<script src="static/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>      
<script src="static/jquery-migrate-1.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="static/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.js"></script>

Could it possibly be one of the reason?

you may try using trigger() Reference Link

$('#form_id').trigger("reset");

http://jsfiddle.net/8zLLn/

  $('#configreset').click(function(){
        $('#configform')[0].reset();
  });

Put it in JS fiddle. Worked as intended.

So, none of the aforementioned issues are at fault here. Maybe you're having a conflicting ID issue? Is the click actually executing?

Edit: (because I'm a sad sack without proper commenting ability) It's not an issue directly with your code. It works fine when you take it out of the context of the page that you're currently using, so, instead of it being something with the particular jQuery/javascript & attributed form data, it has to be something else. I'd start bisecting the code around it out and try to find where it's going on. I mean, just to 'make sure', i suppose you could...

console.log($('#configform')[0]);

in the click function and make sure it's targeting the right form...

and if it is, it has to be something that's not listed here.

edit part 2: One thing you could try (if it's not targeting it correctly) is use "input:reset" instead of what you are using... also, i'd suggest because it's not the target that's incorrectly working to find out what the actual click is targeting. Just open up firebug/developer tools, whathave you, toss in

console.log($('#configreset'))

and see what pops up. and then we can go from there.

According to this post here, jQuery has no reset() method; but native JavaScript does. So, convert the jQuery element to a JavaScript object by either using :

$("#formId")[0].reset()
// or
$("#formId").get(0).reset()
