How to reset my Ajax.Begin form fields value using jQuery

Question

I have the following Ajax.BeginForm inside my asp.net mvc razor view:-

    <div id="searchform">                           

    @using (Ajax.BeginForm("AdvanceSearchIndexByName","Home", 
    new AjaxOptions
    {
        HttpMethod = "get",
        InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
        LoadingElementId = "progress2",
        UpdateTargetId = "SearchTable2"
    }))
    {
       }
<input class="btn btn-success" type="submit" value="Clear" id="clear" />

and i wrote the following javaScript:-

<script type="text/javascript">

    $("#clear").on('click', function () {
        alert('2');
        $('#searchform').clear();
});
        </script>

to reset the form values when clicking on the "clear" button, but currently the clear button will not have any effect.can anyone advice ? Thanks

You can do this without any JavaScript, just add a reset type button

 @using (Ajax.BeginForm("AdvanceSearchIndexByName","Home", 
    new AjaxOptions
    {
        HttpMethod = "get",
        InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
        LoadingElementId = "progress2",
        UpdateTargetId = "SearchTable2"
    }))
 {
        <input type="reset" value="reset"/>

 }

That's a HTML 4.0 capability! This has been around for a very long time. People just forget about it. – Liam Jul 11 '14 at 11:00
