Reset does not work a form in Sencha Touch

All I want to do is when I click the reset button on my form it resets all fields. And I have tried everything but it does not seem to work. Here is the class that has the button in it:
App.views.HomeIndex = Ext.extend(Ext.form.FormPanel,{
floating: true,
scroll: 'vertical',
itemId: 'jobSearch',
centered: true,
modal: true,
hideOnMaskTap: false,
items: [{
xtype: 'textfield',
itemId: 'keywords',
label: 'Keywords',
labelAlign: 'top',
labelWidth: '100%',
name: 'keywords'
},{
xtype: 'textfield',
label: 'Job Title',
itemId: 'jtitle',
labelAlign: 'top',
labelWidth: '100%',
name: 'jtitle'
},{
.... //more xtypes here
,
dockedItems: [{
xtype: 'toolbar',
itemId: 'toolbar',
dock: 'bottom',
height: '36',
items: [
{ xtype: 'button', text: 'Reset',itemId: 'resetBtn',
},
{ xtype: 'spacer'},
{ xtype: 'button', text: 'Submit',itemId:'submitBtn',ui: 'action',
}
]
}]
In my App.js I have the code to handle the reset method:
//this is one way I thought of doing it. But obviously it does not work. I have tried googling all over but couldnt find a solution.
this.homeView.query('#resetBtn')[0].setHandler(function(){
var form = this.el.up('.x-panel');
//form.down('.x-input-text[name=keywords]').setValue(' ');
form.query('#jobSearch').getComponent('keywords').reset();
});
});
Ext.reg('HomeIndex', App.views.HomeIndex);

Your form's ID is "jobSearch", the name is "keyboards". You're trying to combine both.
Try:
form.query('#jobSearch').reset();
or:
document.forms['keywords'].reset();

Try this. It's a bit more ExtJS like.
var form = Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#jobSearch .form')[0];
form.reset();

how fix this extjs layout?

This is my ext code
Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel', {
title: 'Customer Information',
width: 300,
bodyPadding: 5,
floating: true,
renderTo: document.body,
frame: true,
collapsible: true,
closable: true,
defaults: { labelWidth: 90 },
items: [{
xtype: 'image',
id: 'profile_pic',
name: 'profile_pic',
style: { display: 'block', margin: 'auto' },
src: 'http://www.sencha.com/img/20110215-feat-html5.png',
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'ID',
name: 'viewer_id',
id: 'viewer_id',
padding: '5 0 0 0',
fieldCls: 'specialfield',
value: ''
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Name',
name: 'viewer_name',
id: 'viewer_name',
fieldCls: 'fieldcolor',
value: '',
width: 280
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Member ID',
name: 'viewer_mem_id',
id: 'viewer_mem_id',
fieldCls: 'fieldcolor',
width: 280
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Address',
name: 'viewer_address',
id: 'viewer_address',
fieldCls: 'fieldcolor',
width: 280
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Phone [Home]',
name: 'viewer_phone_home',
id: 'viewer_phone_home',
fieldCls: 'fieldcolor',
width: 280
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Phone [Mobile]',
name: 'viewer_phone_mobile',
id: 'viewer_phone_mobile',
fieldCls: 'fieldcolor',
width: 280
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Phone [Work]',
name: 'viewer_phone_work',
id: 'viewer_phone_work',
fieldCls: 'fieldcolor',
width: 280
}]
});
problem is first time it loads it shows like this
once the image loaded and then refresh it gives me the layout i needed
i guess the problem is happening due to image size. how to fix this issue?
sorry for the bad english
Regards

Found the correct way to do it by adding a listener and bind load event to element
var v_profile_image = Ext.widget('image', {
src: '',
style: { display: 'block', margin: 'auto' },
name: 'profile_pic'
});
v_profile_image.on('load', function(e) {
this.up('panel').doLayout();
}, v_profile_image, { element: 'el' });

From the comments above.
If the height of image is not changing you can set the height of image: height:90 inside the declaring the image: jsfiddle.net/6NK7n/
Anyway, the image will be resized to fit the height you set.

How to reduce the padding of the labels in an ExtJS FormPanel?

I'm trying to reduce the padding between the fields of my ExtJS form.
I am able to change the style of the field data with the style tag in the Items collection like this:
//form right
var simple_form_right = new Ext.FormPanel({
frame:true,
labelWidth: 90,
labelAlign: 'right',
title: 'Orderer Information',
bodyStyle:'padding:5px 5px 0 0',
width: 300,
height: 600,
autoScroll: true,
itemCls: 'form_row',
defaultType: 'displayfield',
items: [{
fieldLabel: 'Customer Type',
name: 'customerType',
style: 'padding:0px;font-size:7pt',
labelStyle: 'padding:0px',
allowBlank: false,
value: 'Company'
},{
fieldLabel: 'Company',
name: 'company',
value: 'The Ordering Company Inc.'
},{
fieldLabel: 'Last Name',
name: 'lastName',
value: 'Smith'
}, {
...
But how do I access the style of the label as well, something like styleLabel or labelStyle, etc.?

There's labelPad which defaults to 5px apparently, and labelStyle if you need more than that.

You can make use of the labelStyle property available for form fields.
Here is an example:
items: [{
fieldLabel: 'Company',
name: 'company',
labelStyle: 'padding: 10px 10px;'
}]

ExtJS Having More Than One vType Applied To A Field

I have seen examples that use built-in vTypes and custom ones for a field, but never a custom and built-in vType together. For example, here is one I am currently using in my code which I have found from the Sencha examples and forums (many thanks):
//Add the additional 'advanced' VTypes
Ext.apply(Ext.form.VTypes, {
daterange : function(val, field) {
var date = field.parseDate(val);
if(!date){
return false;
}
if (field.startDateField) {
var start = Ext.getCmp(field.startDateField);
if (!start.maxValue || (date.getTime() != start.maxValue.getTime())) {
start.setMaxValue(date);
start.validate();
}
}
else if (field.endDateField) {
var end = Ext.getCmp(field.endDateField);
if (!end.minValue || (date.getTime() != end.minValue.getTime())) {
end.setMinValue(date);
end.validate();
}
}
/*
* Always return true since we're only using this vtype to set the
* min/max allowed values (these are tested for after the vtype test)
*/
return true;
}
});
Although this prevents the users from picking start and end dates that are not chronologically correct and quite nicely I might add, it overrides the default which checks that the user entered a date in correct format. Any way to have both the advanced vType and the default working at the same time? Now users can simply put letters in these fields or incorrect date formats and there answers will be submitted with no error checking! If something already exists for me to have multiple vTypes, I don't want to have to rewrite what is already written and reinvent the wheel.
Thanks for your time,

EDIT
I am adding more of the form code by request. It's very long, so I have cut some of it out. I hope this will be enough...
this.captchaURL = "captcha/CaptchaSecurityImages.php?width=160&height=80&characters=4&t=";
var boxCaptcha = new Ext.BoxComponent({
columnWidth:.35,

}
});
boxCaptcha.on('render',function (){
var curr = Ext.get('activateCodeImg');
curr.on('click',this.onCapthaChange,this);
},this);
function onCapthaChange(){
var captchaURL = this.captchaURL;
var curr = Ext.get('activateCodeImg');
curr.slideOut('b', {callback: function(){
Ext.get( 'activateCodeImg' ).dom.src= captchaURL+new Date().getTime();
curr.slideIn('t');
}},this);
}
function getLang(){
// decode language passed in url
var locale = window.location.search

If you look at the Ext JS source code, you will see that vType is additional validation to the fields and the default validations are executed. So, even if you have 'daterange' as a new vType, the existing date check is executed.
Now, regarding the user keying in the right format.. are you talking about the date format m/d/y and d/m/y ? the format property should take care of this. You can have format: 'm/d/Y' set to both of your datefields.
Regarding user keying in simple text instead of date, I was not able to replicate that! May you should show your form code along with your question.
Have a look at this:

i looked for an similar issue.
I found a solution, maybe it is also helpful for your issue.
You can give your field ann additional parameter (e.g. vTypes), declare this field as Array.
Than you are able to use it everywhere like this:
field.vtypes.forEach(function(vType)
{
vErrors[vType] = Ext.data.validations[vType]('', val);
});
You recive an array with Vtype and a boolean for error state ;)

Set form field values in ExtJS

I'm using ExtJS to create a formPanel:

How do I access the form fields by the name to set their value manually? Thanks

It's quite easy:
get hands on the form-panel (by the way it's Ext.form.FormPanel and not just Ext.FormPanel):
var formPanel = new Ext.form.FormPanel({...});
get the underlying Ext.form.BasicForm
var form = formPanel.getForm();
you then can use findField(name) to retrieve your form fields by their names:
var cellField = form.findField('cell_phone');

You can also set them in bulk by using the setValues() method.
eg:
Ext.getCmp('formname').getForm().setValues({
fielda: 'value1',
fieldb: 'value2'
})

Nice! worked for me :D
But you can set default value:
...
items: [{
xtype:'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'First Name',
name: 'first_name',
id: 'first_name',
value: 'somevalue',
anchor:'95%'
},
...
