A useful feature for an application is to provide a "Reset" button on a form to allow the use to reset all form fields to their original states, prior to any user modifications.

Historically, the HTML input type="reset" was used for this function (e.g. " <input type="reset" value="Reset!">"). However, with the more advanced and complex components provided by ACE and MOBI, the basic form-field reset capability provided by the HTML input technique is no longer sufficient to ensure proper value resetting.

This JIRA is to investigate and ultimately provide an easy to use mechanism for resetting all components in a form reliably, whether they be ACE, MOBI, or "h:" / standard JSF components.

Note that this JIRA would likely provide a JavaScript-based mechanism for resetting the components in a form, but ultimately this JS function would be integrated into a new "reset" type for the existing ace:pushButton component (under a separate JIRA - ICE-10899).
