How do I reset all forms in a document including those in layers?

David Gurney, Martin Honnen, Flemming V. Larsen,
You need to loop through
document.forms
and for NN4 additionally recursively through
document.layers
and contained forms. The following page contains a function
resetAllForms
that does that. Example call and exampe forms are included
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
.layer { position: relative; }
</STYLE>
<SCRIPT>
function resetAllForms (windowOrLayer) {
if (!windowOrLayer)
windowOrLayer = window;
for (var f = 0; f < document.forms.length; f++)
windowOrLayer.document.forms[f].reset();
if (document.layers)
for (var l = 0; l < windowOrLayer.document.layers.length; l++)
resetAllForms(windowOrLayer.document.layers[l]);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<A HREF="javascript: resetAllForms(); void 0">
reset all forms
</A>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="text">
</FORM>
<DIV CLASS="layer">
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="text">
</FORM>
<DIV CLASS="layer">
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="text">
</FORM>
</DIV>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
this doesn't work in NN4 if ALL forms are in layers
a slightly more flexible function to cope with NN4-6 and IE4-5.5 would
be
function resetAllForms (windowOrLayer) {
if (!windowOrLayer)
windowOrLayer = window;
if (document.forms.length>0){
for (var f = 0; f < document.forms.length; f++)
windowOrLayer.document.forms[f].reset();
}
if (document.layers){
for (var l = 0; l < windowOrLayer.document.layers.length;l++ )
resetAllForms(windowOrLayer.document.layers[l]);
}
}
