cancel button error FormAction is null

[ttrinh]

Hi
I got a problem with the cancel button of my form
when users make changes to the form then click cancel I want it to revert to the saved setting. The problem I am getting is this error : document.Tasks_Priority.FormAction is null or not an object.
When I click the "Undo" button it appears to work although I am getting the above js error
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my script ?
<input type=&quot;reset&quot; value=&quot;Undo&quot; onclick=&quot;document.Tasks_Priority.FormAction.value = 'cancel';&quot;/>

Thanks

I know this is kind of obvious but it never hurts... Your input field is a reset type - meaning that when you press it, all the fields in your form will be cleared. To do anything other than this, you'll have to create a function to restore the values and not rely on a 'reset' button alone.

There's always a better way...

Thanks for your suggestion tviman.
Thats what I want it to do - just clear the form /reset it to original . It may have started with items in several fields or may not. The thing is when its a submit button , there are no js errors but it also doesn't work. When its a reset button it works but also returns a js error .

If you just want to clear the form, use this:

<input type=&quot;reset&quot; name=&quot;Clear Form&quot;>

Make sure it's between your <form> and </form> tags. There's always a better way...
