how can i clear may table data if i click my reset button which resets my radio buttons on different forms
<p>what i want is if i click my reset button, it resets my radio buttons and clears its value on may table data.... what should i add to my codes here...</p>

<pre><code>function  clear(){
    var elems = document.getElementsByName('president') &amp;&amp; document.getElementById('president');
    for(i=0;i&lt;elems.length;i++)
        elems[i].checked=false;
    document.list.editform.president.value='';

}
</code></pre>

<p>lets say for instance the <code>document.getElementsByName('president')</code> is for my reset button which is on my editform and the <code>document.getElementById('president')</code> is for my table data which is on the other form. should it be possible that if i click the reset, two forms would be called on my function? plss help...</p>

<p>this is my select_candidate.php</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--
function  clear(){
    var elems = document.getElementsByName('president');
    for(i=0;i&lt;elems.length;i++)
        elems[i].checked=false;
    document.list.editform.president.value='';

}
function get_president_value()
{
    for (var i=0; i &lt; document.list.president.length; i++)
    {
        if (document.list.president[i].checked)
        {
            return document.getElementById('president').innerHTML = document.list.president[i].value;
        }
    }
}
--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;form method="post" name="list"&gt;
    &lt;div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels" &gt;
        &lt;ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup"&gt;
            &lt;li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0"&gt;President&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup"&gt;
    &lt;div class="TabbedPanelsContent"&gt; 
        &lt;fieldset&gt;
            &lt;legend&gt;President&lt;/legend&gt;
&lt;?php require_once('candidate/president.php'); ?&gt;   
        &lt;/fieldset&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;!-- here the value of my radio button will appear on this table data and this is where i want to clear as i click my reset button which clears also my radio buttons... --&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
    &lt;fieldset&gt;
        &lt;legend&gt;List of Your Candidates&lt;/legend&gt;
        &lt;table&gt;
            &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;President: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td id="president" onclick="clear()"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;/table&gt;
    &lt;/fieldset&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
