jQuery: Clearing Form Inputs

Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/xavi3r/D3prt/

$(':input','#myform')
  .not(':button, :submit, :reset, :hidden')
  .val('')
  .removeAttr('checked')
  .removeAttr('selected');

Original Answer: Resetting a multi-stage form with jQuery

Mike's suggestion (from the comments) to keep checkbox and selects intact!

Warning: If you're creating elements (so they're not in the dom), replace :hidden with [type=hidden] or all fields will be ignored!

$(':input','#myform')
  .removeAttr('checked')
  .removeAttr('selected')
  .not(':button, :submit, :reset, :hidden, :radio, :checkbox')
  .val('');

I'd recomment using good old javascript:

document.getElementById("addRunner").reset();

Took some searching and reading to find a method that suited my situation, on form submit, run ajax to a remote php script, on success/failure inform user, on complete clear the form.

I had some default values, all other methods involved .val('') thereby not resetting but clearing the form.

I got this too work by adding a reset button to the form, which had an id of myform:

$("#myform > input[type=reset]").trigger('click');

This for me had the correct outcome on resetting the form, oh and dont forget the

event.preventDefault();

to stop the form submitting in browser, like I did :).

You may try

$("#addRunner input").each(function(){ ... });

Inputs are no selectors, so you do not need the : Haven't tested it with your code. Just a fast guess!
