Reset for form not working after search has been done

I am trying to reset the form to blank values in the input textboxes after the data filled in the textbox have been searched.
<form id="myForm" class="mt-5" asp-controller="Leave" asp-action="GetAllLeaves">
<div class="form group col-md-6">
<label>Employee </label>
<div class="col">
<input type="hidden" id="employeeId" name="employeeId" />
<input type="text" name="employeeName" id="employeeName" value="#ViewData["CurrentFilterE"]" />
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-success">Search</button>
<button type="reset" id="reset" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Reset</button>
</form>
I have tried bunch of different javascripts but none of them work after the search has been completed. They work fine before the search button is clicked. I am aware that there are questions already asked about this here and I have tried those codes but they don't work for me.
These are the different codes that I have tried. They don't work after the search button has been hit. Even refreshing the page does not delete the data in the input boxes.
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myForm")[0].reset();
};
$("#reset").click(function () {
$(this).closest('form').find("input[type=text], textarea").val("");
});
document.getElementById("reset").onclick = () => {
document.getElementById("myForm").reset()
};
let inputs = document.querySelectorAll('input');
document.getElementById("reset").onclick = () => {
inputs.forEach(input => input.value ='');
}

in your post method you need to have an IactionResult return type method and then you need to pass property name to ModelState.Remove method, not the value.
Either pass the property name in string, eg. ModelState.Remove("PropertyName"); or in the newer .NET framework, you can use nameof() keyword, eg. ModelState.Remove(nameof(model.Property));

The HTMLFormElement.reset() method restores a form element's default values. This method does the same thing as clicking the form's reset button. If a form control (such as a reset button) has a name or id of reset it will mask the form's reset method. It does not reset other attributes in the input, such as disabled.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement/reset.
Your default input value = "#ViewData["CurrentFilterE"]". Reset method restores a form element's default values.
This will help to reset the input:
html:
<form id="myForm">
<input type="text" name="employeeName" id="employeeName" value="test" />
<button id="reset" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Reset</button>
</form>
js:
document.getElementById("reset").onclick = function(e) {
document.getElementById("employeeName").value = "";
}

I ended up using the following
$("#reset").click(function () {
// this for normal <input> text box
$('#employeeName').attr("value", "");
//this for checkbox
document.getElementById('searchAprroved').removeAttribute('checked');
});

Submit form on change of dropdown list in Semantic UI?

I would like to submit form when an element is selected - skipping pressing the submit button.
I tried using onchange="this.form.submit()", but it's not working here.
This is the code:
<form action="" method="get">
<div class="ui floating dropdown labeled search icon button dd">
<input type="hidden" name="nutr_code">
<span class="text">Select nutrient</span>
<div class="menu">
<div class="item" data-value="ca">Calcium</div>
<div class="item" data-value="fe">Iron</div>
<div class="item" data-value="mg">Magnesium</div>
<div class="item" data-value="zn">Zinc</div>
</div>
</div>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Show results">
</form>

Because you are using GET method you can redirect with javascript by constructing the url yourself.
$('.ui.dropdown').dropdown({
'onChange': function (value, text, $choice) {
location.href = 'http://example.com/?nutr_code=' + value;
}});
Second option is changing the input field 'nutr_code' with the value from the callback as shown above
$('input[name="nutr_code"]').val(value);
and submit the <FORM/> from js.
$('form').submit();
EDIT:
Example of second option.
$('.ui.dropdown').dropdown({
'onChange': function (value, text, $choice) {
// Uncomment if semantic is not updating the input before submit.
//$('input[name="nutr_code"]').val(value);
$('form').submit();
}});

You need to define action in form tag or add some method to submit button
<input type="submit" value="Show results" onclick="someFunction()">
You need to define someFunction() too if you follow this way. Thanks

You Can Use Jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input[name='nutr_code']").on('input',function(e){
$("input[type='submit']").trigger( "click" );
});
});

Validate form within ngDialog openConfirm before closing

I have a button that opens an ngDialog.openConfirm. Within that dialog I have a form, which includes a textarea which is required and needs to be a minimum 20 characters.
Here is a simplified version of my code:
someFunction() {
let newScope = $scope.$new();
newScope.vm = vm;
ngDialog.openConfirm({
scope: newScope,
template: 'componentDescription.html'
})
}
And my html:
<form role="form" name="subForm">
<textarea name="compDesc"
required="true"
ng-minlength="20"
ng-model="vm.compDesc">
</textarea>
<button type="button" ng-click="confirm(0)">Submit</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="closeThisDialog(0)">Cancel</button>
</form>
I would like for the Dialog to only be submitted if the form is valid.
I tried to do this by creating a function in my controller , but that has trouble accessing the form/closing the dialog.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I've changed my html like so:
<form role="form" name="subForm" novalidate ng-submit="confirm(0)">
<textarea name="compDesc"
required="true"
ng-minlength="20"
ng-model="vm.compDesc">
</textarea>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="closeThisDialog(0)">Cancel</button>
</form>
This works on the first click, which brings up my error messages, but on the second click it submits the form even though it's invalid. Seems that whenever the error messages are displayed the submit button ignores the validation.

You can manually decide whether to call $scope.confirm() or not,
Pass validation then call $scope.confirm().
Not Pass validation, don't call $scope.confirm().
e.g.
Template:
<button type="button" ng-click="ok(0)">Submit</button>
Controller:
$scope.ok = function () {
if(!validationHasPassed()){
//errorMsg.push('xxx')
return false;
}
$scope.confirm();
};

Simply you can add ng-disabled option with your form name
<button type="button" ng-disabled="subForm.$invalid" ng-click="confirm(0)">Submit</button>

you can disable submit button if length of input string is less then 20
<button type="button" ng-disabled="vm.compDesc.length < 20" ng-click="confirm(0)">Submit</button>
you can also display an error message below text area so users can understand why submit button is not enabled
<form role="form" name="subForm">
<textarea name="compDesc"
required="true"
ng-minlength="20"
ng-model="vm.compDesc">
</textarea>
<p ng-show="vm.compDesc.length < 20" style="color:#cc5965">Description should be at least 20 characters</p>
<button type="button" ng-click="confirm(0)">Submit</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="closeThisDialog(0)">Cancel</button>
</form>

Send value of div on form submit

I am trying to submit a form with a couple of different inputs, which all work fine. However, one of the inputs is a textarea (sort of). I had to alter it into a content editable div, mainly because I created my own bold, italic and underline buttons which wouldn't work with normal textareas. The problem is that the form on submit is not sending the text to the php and i was wondering what i could do to get the value of the div in the php.
Here is the "textarea":
<div id="dash_new_shout_textarea" name="dash_new_shout_textarea"
class="dash_new_shout_textarea" contenteditable="true"
placeholder="Write your shout..." name="dash_new_shout_textarea"
value="<?php echo isset($_POST['dash_new_shout_textarea']) ?
$_POST['dash_new_shout_textarea'] : '' ?>"></div>
The form is just a normal form with method=post.
Here is the php:
$newShoutTextarea = $_POST['dash_new_shout_textarea'];
Thanks for the help

I would suggest that you follow the other answers and use jQuery, but since there is no jQuery tag in your question I suppose that I should provide a good non-jQuery solution for you.
HTML
<form onsubmit="prepareDiv()">
<div id="dash_new_shout_textarea" class="dash_new_shout_textarea" contenteditable="true" placeholder="Write your shout..." name="dash_new_shout_textarea" value="<?php echo isset($_POST['dash_new_shout_textarea']) ? $_POST['dash_new_shout_textarea'] : '' ?>"></div>
<input type="hidden" id="dash_new_shout_textarea_hidden" name="dash_new_shout_textarea" />
</form>
Javascript
function prepareDiv() {
document.getElementById("dash_new_shout_textarea_hidden").value = document.getElementById("dash_new_shout_textarea").innerHTML;
}
Your PHP remains the same.

What you can do is this:
<div id="dash_new_shout_textarea"></div>
<input type="hidden" name="dash_new_shout_textarea" id="dash_new_shout_textarea_hidden" />
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function () {
document.getElementById("dash_new_shout_textarea_hidden").value = document.getElementById("dash_new_shout_textarea").innerHTML;
}, 5);
</script>

the problem is that a DIV is not a form element and cannot be posted. If you use some javascript, you could populate a hidden input field with the data and then receive it server side as POST variable

You can add a hidden input to your form and update it with jquery
<div id="dash_new_shout_textarea" name="dash_new_shout_textarea"
class="dash_new_shout_textarea" contenteditable="true"
placeholder="Write your shout..." name="dash_new_shout_textarea"
value="></div>
<form id="target" method="post" action="destination.php">
<input id="textarea_hidden" name="textarea_hidden" type="hidden" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
script
$("#target").click(function() {
$("#textarea_hidden").val($("#dash_new_shout_textarea").val());
});

What you can do is use jQuery for this.
DEMO HERE
Proper scenario would be:
*Get value from div and save it into hidden field. *
This has to be done when you submit form:
$(function () {
$("#send").on("click", function () {
$("#hiddenfield").val($("#dash_new_shout_textarea").text());
alert($("#hiddenfield").val());
$("form#formID").submit();
});
});

Multiple show/hide forms in jquery

Hello I want to have list of files in directory and a form below each of them that allows my users to name them.
That's all clear - I made it in php, but now I want to have this list and hidden forms, and when I'm clicking on one of my file's name, the form shows under the clicked name.
Something like here: http://papermashup.com/demos/jquery-sliding-div/#
Here is the code: http://papermashup.com/simple-jquery-showhide-div/
But it works in a way, that when i click on one of files, all forms shows or all hides. How to fix it to work only for clicked file?
JSFIDDLE EXAMPLE: http://jsfiddle.net/qbNrR/
#UPDATE - SIMILAR PROBLEM
Hey, I've got similar problem with submitting ajax forms - using this tutorial: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/submit-a-form-without-page-refresh-using-jquery/
my forms are in div id=#upform and when i'm trying to submit any of them via $.ajax it submits only the first one, here's the code:
<script>
$(function() {
$(".button").click(function() {
var txt = $(".tekst#test").val();
var dataString = 'tekst=' + tekscior;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "upload/base",
data: dataString,
success: function() {
$('#upform').html("<div id='message'></div>");
$('#message')
.html("<h2>described!</h2>")
.append("<p>thanks!</p>")
.hide()
.fadeIn(1500, function() {
$('#message')
.append("<img id='checkmark' src='http://artivia-dev2/i/check.png' />");
});
}
});
return false;
});
});​
</script>
AND Here are my forms:
// ONLY THIS ONE IS SUBMITTED, EVEN WHEN I'M SUBMITTING THE SECOND ONE!
<div class="slidingDiv">
<div id="upform">
<form name="contact" action="">
<input type="text" value="TESTFORM" class="tekst" id="test">
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="button" id="submit" value="Send" />
<form>
</div>
<div class="slidingDiv">
<div id="upform">
<form name="contact" action="">
<input type="text" value="TESTFORM" class="tekst" id="test">
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="button" id="submit" value="Send" />
<form>
</div>

You can use the next() jQuery method. Then your code will look something like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".slidingDiv").hide();
$(".show_hide").show();
$('.show_hide').click(function(e) {
$(e.target).next(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
});
});​

Try event.currentTarget to get the form that triggered the click event

on click event use jquery like
$(this).show(); // or hide();
as in example
$('.show_hide').click(function(){
//$(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
$(this).slideToggle();
});
