<tip>
If you are going to place a "reset" button in a form, include a confirm box. Sometimes users may
accidentally press this button (especially if your reset button is placed irregularly close to the
submit button) and see their minutes of hard work disappear...

<input type="reset" value="Reset Form" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to clear the
form?')">
</tip>
