• 2 Do you have to use jQuery? Why not just use an input of type reset? It's meant to do exactly what you're trying to do. – Esteban Araya Commented Aug 31, 2010 at 15:08
• 1 @Esteban: because jQuery is the answer to everything. – BalusC Commented Aug 31, 2010 at 15:17
• 3 Doesn't seem to me that a jQuery solution was requested. this.defaultValue implies a native solution. – user113716 Commented Aug 31, 2010 at 15:41

you don't need jQuery for this, just get the form dom element and call reset() on it.

Or, fetch with jQuery like:

$("#myFormId")[0].reset();
