Close - <input type="reset"/> and <html:reset/> both clear <input type="text"/> but neither clear <html:text/>. Until Struts, I always used <input type="reset"/> to clear the textfields of a form and assumed <html:reset/> would do the same. So my original question is, what intrinsic value does <html:reset/> have for <html:text/> objects if they cannot clear them or reset them to their default values on the client? RU saying that I have to create a custom clear() function to clear <html:text/> objects on the client side (or is this even possible on the client)?

Client or server? The reset is basically an html input of type reset which will effect the page on the client side, while the cancel submit the form, but signals the controller that the form was cancelled (server side). I doubt you suffer from this, but I've seen several cases where developers think that if the user fills out a form and submits it, but it fails on validation and returns to render the page with those invalid entries, that hitting the reset will "reset" (in their mind) the page back to a blank page. That, of course, is the difference betwee a "reset" and a "clear" button.
