[thelist] Empty Form Responses --> Re: How do I clear form input fields onSubmit (or somehow)?

[Simon]

Hello all (again),

In an email yesterday I asked:

The suggestion posted here was to do this:

Now, while the form fields are clearing perfectly when the person 
clicks the "send" button there is one new problem. All the comment 
card forms are now generating nothing but blank emails to us. Seems 
like the "reset" is happening *first* and then the form is sending us 
the contents of the now empty fields.

So my new question is how do I stop this from happening? Is there 
some way to only clear those fields after the information has been 
sent?
