EXPLANATION

The function called
resetAll()
is defined. It is invoked when the
onReset
event han-
dler is triggered.
2
If the user clicks the Reset button on line 8, he or she sees this confirm dialog box,
a
true
value will be returned by this function, allowing the reset to clear all the
input fields and set them back to their original values.
3
If a value
true
is returned, the fields will be cleared.
4
If a value of
false
is returned by this function, the reset action will be dismissed.
