Random Thoughts

JQuery’s form plugin provides several convenient methods for clearing/resetting form element values. However, the clearForm method does not reset hidden fields. Here is a simple implementation for clearing hidden fields:

jQuery.fn.clearHiddenFields = function() {
	return this.each(function(){
		$("input[type='hidden']", this).each(function(){
			this.value = '';
		});
	});		
};

Invoking this method is very straightforward:

$("#yourformid").clearHiddenFields();

or simply:

$("form").clearHiddenFields();
