It might be a "stupid" question....

I have a form and when I submit the form the textfields are not cleared...
How can I clear the textfield after a submit?

Can someone help me?
Thanks

FYI to people pickign this up on searches: It doesn't work.

Don't yet know what does, but this doesn't.

Seems to work allright here. It sends the form and then clears the input box. Isn't that what you wanted in the first place?

As far as I can see, this does not submit the form before clearing the INPUTs.

then try reset the form onload

<script type="text/javascript">
onload = function(){
document.forms['formname'].reset()
}
</script>

Onload won't work if form is never reloaded -- e.g., if you are targeting a new window for the form.
