如何使用php表单的重置按钮？

Question

I've got a form that I'm handling with PHP. Before the user submits it, the Reset button works. But when they submit and the page reloads (I've made the form fields sticky based on the $_POST values) the reset doesn't work. How can I fix that? EDIT: For example, a checkbox on the form:

 <input type="checkbox"  <?php if (isset($_POST['cb12'])){echo 'checked="checked"';} ?> name="cb12" tabindex="34" id=cb value="Education">

And the HTML:

<tr>
          <td colspan="5" valign="top" class="addit" ><div class="sectionbreak topsp" >
              <input type="hidden" name="failure" value="failure.html" >
              <p>
                <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" tabindex="49">
                Sends your application by email to The Boggs</p>
              <p>
                <input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset" tabindex="50">
                Clears all the fields</p>
            </div></td>
        </tr>

EDIT: In the end, I just hid the button if the form has been submitted (but isn't complete). Maybe no one will notice.

I've just been through this exact thing, see my previous question & the incredible helpful answers.

In the end I had to do a manual reset of the values in PHP.

EDIT: Not quite the same scenario for you as you seem to be populating the form values based on $_POST rather than $_SESSION as I did. In which case, see the answer I accepted via the link above.
