jquery.form.js用法之清空form的方法

/**
 * Clears the form data. Takes the following actions on the form's input fields:
 * - input text fields will have their 'value' property set to the empty string
 * - select elements will have their 'selectedIndex' property set to -1
 * - checkbox and radio inputs will have their 'checked' property set to false
 * - inputs of type submit, button, reset, and hidden will *not* be effected
 * - button elements will *not* be effected
