JQuery - Form Reset - Exclude "Select" box

Question

All,

I can reset all my form elements using the following JQuery Syntax:

('#myform')[0].reset();

How can I modify this to exclude the reset of "select box" values?

Thanks

To everyone..

the reset function does not set everything to '' (empty string)

it reset to their initial values .. (stored in the value attribute, or selected option etc..)

If you want to maintain the default reset features then you should

1. get all the <select> elements
2. get their currently selected values
3. reset the form as you currently do
4. re-set the selected

example:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(
  function(){
   $("#resetbutton").click(
    function(){
     var values = [];
     var selected = $("select").each(
      function(){
       values.push( $(this).val());
       });
     this.form.reset();
     for (i=0;i<selected.length;i++)
      $(selected[i]).val(values[i]);
    });
    }
  );
 </script>
