In terms of accessibility and usability...
what's the difference between RESET and refreshing the page?

Subject: [WSG] the use of reset buttons on forms
Hi guys,
just wanted to hear what other people's thoughts on this topic are. I
have been adding submit & reset buttons to most of my forms all along.
But I am getting the feeling that the reset button is not only a waste
of time, but in fact fairly user-unfriendly.
Seriously: how many people enter data into a form and go so completely
wrong that they want to erase everything they have just done and start
over new?
On the other hand, how many people *accidentally* press the reset
button when they actually wanted to hit the submit button? I know it
happened to me more than once. You're in a rush, you click without
thinkings... all your work is lost!
Here we could go into the discussion if the reset button should be on
the left or on the right, but personally I am getting the feeling that
the reset button is a mostly useless feature that pops up on almost
every form.
Now a "Cancel" or "Back" button, that's something different!
Any comments?
