(doing my best (worst) Seinfeld impersonation)
You ever notice that 'reset' button at the bottom of the form? What's that about? I mean, you've got a 'reload' button at the top of the browser. Heck, if you've got a fancy broswer you might even have a 'refresh' menu item. And what is that, 're-fresh'? Does it make it fresh again? Can I buy just the refresh button? I'd like to take it to the store with me before I buy fruit. I mean there's something I'd buy off an infomercial. "Oh no, the bananas are all brown again." "That's okay, I'll just refresh them!" Just think of the possibilities. Marriage counsellors could keep one in their desk drawer for couples who's love lives have gone stale. And let's not even get started on beer... (Okay, sorry about that. Back to normal) I just hate the reset button. 9 cases out of 10 it doesn't do you any good because you're not going to want to reset the entire form for any reason, but it will piss you off when you hit it instead of 'submit' by accident. Maybe they should have three buttons: Submit, Reset, and Undo Reset. Or maybe we should just lose the reset button once and for all, like the blink tag. If you like it, please share it.
