How to reset a form using jQuery with .reset() met

Question

I had working code that could reset my form when I click on a reset button. However after my code is getting longer, I realize that it doesn't work anymore.

 <div id="labels">
        <table class="config">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th colspan="4"; style= "padding-bottom: 20px; color:#6666FF; text-align:left; font-size: 1.5em">Control Buttons Configuration</th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th>Index</th>
                    <th>Switch</th>
                    <th>Response Number</th>
                    <th>Description</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>

                <form id="configform" name= "input" action="#" method="get">
                <tr><td style="text-align: center">1</td>
                    <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
                    <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" value="" id="number_one"></td>
                    <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text"  id="label_one"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td style="text-align: center">2</td>
                    <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
                    <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id = "number_two" value=""></td>
                    <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text"  id = "label_two"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td style="text-align: center">3</td>
                    <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
                    <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="number_three" value=""></td>
                    <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="label_three"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td style="text-align: center">4</td>
                    <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
                    <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="number_four" value=""></td>
                    <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="label_three"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td></td>
                    <td><input type="submit" id="configsubmit" value="Submit"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><input type="reset" id="configreset" value="Reset"></td>
                </tr>

                </form>
            </tbody>
        </table>

    </div>

And my jQuery:

 $('#configreset').click(function(){
            $('#configform')[0].reset();
 });

Is there some source that I should include in my codes in order for the .reset() method to work? Previously I was using:

<script src="static/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script src="static/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js">
</script>

and the .reset() method was working.

Currently I'm using

<script src="static/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>      
<script src="static/jquery-migrate-1.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="static/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.js"></script>

Could it possibly be one of the reason?

Answer 1

A reset button doesn't need any script at all (or name or id):

<input type="reset">

and you're done. But if you really must use script, note that every form control has a form property that references the form it's in, so you could do:

<input type="button" onclick="this.form.reset();">

But a reset button is a far better choice.

Answer 2

I've finally solve the problem!! @RobG was right about the form tag and table tag. the form tag should be placed outside the table. with that,

<td><input type="reset" id="configreset" value="Reset"></td>

works without the need of jquery or anything else. simple click on the button and tadaa~ the whole form is reset ;) brilliant!
