How would I reset the controls on a form? I have a few text fields and selection lists, and I want them cleared (text fields) or restored to the top value (the :prompt in the select). I tried the code below with render :update.
the form is in the view:
<% form_for :item, :html => { :id => 'items_form' } do |f| %> <%= f.text_field :name %> <%= f.select :available, [['YES','true'],['NO','false']], :prompt => '--Available?--' %>
<%= link_to_remote 'reset', :update => 'items_list', :url => { :action => 'reset_form' } %>
<% end %>
the action is in the controller:
def reset_form render :update => do |page| page['items_form'].reset # this, um, doesn't work end end
I'm new in rails, so any help will be great.
