How to clear or reset search page

[Cadharose]

Greetings, I have just purchased the V7 of Zoom Search. I need to have a clear or reset button on the search page. I found the following instructions elsewhere in this forum:

There are several options, but one would be to,
- Use the Zoom "Advanced template options" to define your search form. See the Zoom help file for detais.
- Inside of the search form, you add new HTML for your additional Reset button
- Associated with this new Reset button you define a Javascript onclick action that clears the text box via Javascript. Search Google for Javascript to clear a text box. There are a ton of examples.

I am wondering if anyone could expand on this or provide a more comprehensive set of instructions of how to go about doing this. And what are the other options referred to above? I need to know exactly what to put in the search page and what to put in the search form. I am using Javascript.

Thank you.

Advanced Template Options are described in Section 6.7 of the Users Guide. You can download this from here:

As explained, the Javascript version would require replacing the following line in "search.html"

<script language="JavaScript">ZoomSearch();</script>

With:

    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomInitSearch();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowSearchForm();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowHeading();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowSummary();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowCatSummary();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowPagesCount();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowRecommended();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowSorting();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowResults();</script>
    <script language="JavaScript">ZoomShowPageNumbers();</script>

This will allow you to insert HTML between the Form and the other elements.

Once you have this, you can add a reset button. There are multiple ways to do this. But the easiest way to achieve a typical reset would be:

<form target="search.html"><input type="submit" value="Reset"></form>

Place this line after the ZoomShowSearchForm line if you wish for it to appear right after your search form and before your results.
