You will need the remerge scripting method to reset the radio buttons.

Example for reset button click event:
if(xfa.host.messageBox("Do you really want to reset the form?\rAll data will be lost!", "Reset Form?",2,2)==4{xfa.host.resetData(),xfa.form.remerge();}

This is something I am looking to do as well, but when I put this code in, I get an error that says:

missing ) after condition
2:XFA:form1[0]:P1[0]:Title[0]:ResetButton1[0]:click

Suggestions?

Thanks

That's right.
It seems that I missed a ) on copying this script into this thread.

Sorry for that ;)
if(xfa.host.messageBox("Do you really want to reset the form?\rAll data will be lost!", "Reset Form?",2,2)==4){xfa.host.resetData(),xfa.form.remerge();}

I don't know how critical this is but I think also there should be a semi-colon, not a comma after the second line - ie.

if(xfa.host.messageBox("Do you really want to reset the form?\rAll data will be lost!", "Reset Form?",2,2)==4)
{
xfa.host.resetData();
xfa.form.remerge();
}

Just wish I'd found the xfa.form.remerge(); before I'd torn my hair out.

Still it has solved a similar problem

xfa.host.resetData(); will reset all the fields and remove the user submitted data
xfa.host.remerge(); will reset all the radio buttons and put hidden text back to it's original state

Thanks for the post!
