Ah, but some browsers just don't work like that.

They assume that the user wants to re-use the values THEY entered, not
the ones that were the original default.

That's what an <input type="reset" /> was designed for into the HTML
spec in the first place, after all.

You can get them to switch to a browser that behaves like they expect.

You can educate them to understand that their browser is supposed to
work that way.

You can give them a "reset" form button to put things back the way
they were.

But you can't change the browser to misbehave from the way that
particular browser manufacturer thinks browsers should work.  Sorry.
