Reset form on back button (safari)

Question

I'm trying to reset the form when the user click on the back button. Here is the code that I use.

<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="email>
...
$(function() {
   $('input[type=text]').attr('val', '');
});

This code is not working on Safari 6.0.2. I notice that the page load event is not even fired when the user click on the back button.

What could be the problem ?

Answer 1

There's no val attribute. Use the val method instead:

$(function() {
   $('input[type=text]').val('');
});

And, you missed a quote at the email field:

<input type="text" name="email>
                              ^ Insert a quote here
