How to reset an HTML form on submit using JavaScript

By default, HTML forms are reset and all fields are cleared when we submit them.

However, in instances where you use the preventDefault() method in the JavaScript file, the form doesn't reset automatically.

In such situations, we have to trigger the reset event manually using the following JavaScript method:

document.getElementById("formId").reset();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
