Reset/clear form data

Is there a way to reset or clear the form data on submit or with a reset button.

My register form on the members app does not clear the members details once submitted.

Thank you.

Showing the success message and the form
You can redisplay the form along with the success message by setting show-form="true" on the perch:success tag. This is useful for things like edit forms.

<perch:success show-form="true"> ... </perch:success>

Maybe this would help.... But I'm not holding my breath. :)

Thanks for the help but no that didn't work. Ideally I want to only show the success message but when I then return to the form to say register another member the previous data is still there.

Thanks also for the code a few days ago too, haven't quite got round to trying that bit yet.

Denise, In the past I have set

$_POST = array();

to clear post data to prevent re-populating the forms. This works still, but it seems to me there is somr function for doing this. Also, the other way to prevent re-populating a form with same data is to use a link to the page again which will empty the $_POST variable. If the page contains more then one form, then after success, the other forms will be populated with same fields because the $_POST variable still contains the previous information.

Thank I'll take a look at that.

I have another issue to do with the members app I wanted help with. Can I email you?
