    Reset Button The ASP.NET MVC Style

    There are many ways to reset a form in MVC including:

    1. Using a Form Reset Button.
    2. Using JavaScript or JQuery to reset a form.

    My favorite option is a different one as option 1 only resets input fields and not grids, also it does not work after the form is submitted and the field is bound to a model. Option 2 needs some plumbing for each form.

    My favorite option is as below which resets the form without a lot of effort:

     <input  type="button"  class="button"  value="Reset"  name="Reset"  
    onclick="document.location.href =' <%  :  Url.Action("YourGetActionMethod")  %>'"  />
