:reset Selector

reset selector

version added: 1.0jQuery(':reset')

Description: Selects all elements of type reset.

:reset is equivalent to [type="reset"]

Additional Notes:

Because :reset is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using :reset cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll() method. For better performance in modern browsers, use [type="reset"] instead.

Example:

Finds all reset inputs.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
  textarea { height:45px; }
  </style>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7rc2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <form>
    <input type="button" value="Input Button"/>
    <input type="checkbox" />

    <input type="file" />
    <input type="hidden" />
    <input type="image" />

    <input type="password" />
    <input type="radio" />
    <input type="reset" />

    <input type="submit" />
    <input type="text" />
    <select><option>Option<option/></select>

    <textarea></textarea>
    <button>Button</button>
  </form>
  <div>
  </div>
<script>

    var input = $("input:reset").css({background:"yellow", border:"3px red solid"});
    $("div").text("For this type jQuery found " + input.length + ".")
            .css("color", "red");
    $("form").submit(function () { return false; }); // so it won't submit

</script>

</body>
</html>
