Different between form('reset') and form('clear') ?

[Stefan B.]

Hello, I have a question:

What is the different between form('reset') and form('clear') ?

[jarry]

The 'reset' method resets the fields to their original values. The 'clear' method only clears the values of the fields.

Hi. What you mean with "original values" ?

1) We get the form data from remote server.
2) Changing some form fields
3) Then we call

Code:

$('#formId').form('reset');

to reset the data to the original data before changing. But after that all form fields are emty! No values shown!

Is this a bug?

The original value is the initialized value when created the component.

Code:

$('#t1').textbox({
  value: 'v1'
});

The code above create a textbox with 'value' set to 'v1', its original value is also set to 'v1'. After calling 'reset' method, the textbox's value will be set to 'v1' even if the user enters other value.

FYI - this works if the value attribute is hard-coded into the page before easyui executes:

Code:

<input id="myinput1" value="123">

But if you add the value attribute programmatically then you need to update the eui object:

Code:

<input id="myinput2">
$('#myinput2').textbox('options').originalValue = "123";
