'Resetting all fields in a form when it is opened

I have two forms that lies under two tabs in a portlet. When I click on tab 2 I want all fields in that form to be empty. I don't want a button. I tried with:

function resetForm($form) {
    $form.find('input:text, input:password, input:file, select, textarea').val('');
    $form.find('input:radio, input:checkbox')
         .removeAttr('checked').removeAttr('selected');
}

<input id="button" type="hidden" onclick="resetForm"/></p>

but the fields only becomes empty when it is clicked on.

Simply call:

$form.get(0).reset();

Using .get() you can fetch the DOM element from the jQuery object. The DOM element for the form (HTMLFormElement) has a reset method that will restore the form's default values.

You should put this in the click event handler for your tab 2.
