Reset form invalid values Options

[RainLover]

Here’s a sample form:

CODE

<form>
  <input type="number">
  <input type="number">
  <button type="button">Reset</button>
</form>

var form = document.querySelector('form');

function detectChange() {
  var inputs = form.querySelectorAll('input');
  for (var input of inputs) {
    if (input.value) {
      return true;
    }
  }
}

form.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function() {
  if (detectChange() && confirm('Are you sure you want to reset?')) {
    form.reset();
  }
});

I’d like the reset button to work even if the user enters non-numeric values.

I’d like the reset button to work even if the user enters non-numeric values.

I recall form fields with invalid values are not passed on to javascript (or submitted). So my guess is that if a user enters a non-numeric value in a "type=number" form field, the field will appear to have no value and "if(input.value)" will not return true.

I guess a normal reset button is out of the question?

You should usually avoid including reset buttons in your forms. They're rarely useful, and are instead more likely to frustrate users who click them by mistake (often while trying to click the submit button).
