Hello, i have a form with a email button. Is it possible when they hit the email button its clears all form fields. Because when some one else use the form they can start with a blank form.

I already tried the : this.resetForm(["P1.OrderForm.REVISIE","P1.OrderForm.OMSCHRIJVING TEKENING"]); javascript in the button field. But it doesn't work.

What is wrong?

I don't think it's a good idea to reset the form like that…

I agree.

What can i do to send first the email and then clear the form?

Add:

this.resetForm();
this.dirty = false;

In the document action : When document will be closed.

So the user will not be prompted to save when closing the (resetted) form.

Just change the order of the commands... First Submit Form, then Execute JavaScript. You can also use the built-in Reset Form command, by the way.

If you want to clear all the fields in the file just use this code:

this.resetForm();
