How to clear all textboxes on a page

I have a page with a whole lot of asp.net textboxes asp:TextBox. I want to have a clear button which will clear the text from all the textBoxes. The textBoxes are all within their own usercontrol. How could this be done?

Using this method, we can clear the text stored in a textbox easily

protected void Reset_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ClearInputs(Page.Controls);
}
void ClearInputs(ControlCollection ctrls)
{
    foreach (Control ctrl in ctrls)
    {
        if (ctrl is TextBox)
            ((TextBox)ctrl).Text = string.Empty;
        ClearInputs(ctrl.Controls);
    }
}

<input type='Reset' value='clear'/>

Will reset all the text fields inside that particular form when clicked.

protected void btnClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ClearControls();

    }
    private void ClearControls()
    {
        foreach (Control c in Page.Controls)
        {
            foreach (Control ctrl in c.Controls)
            {
                if (ctrl is TextBox)
                {
                    ((TextBox)ctrl).Text = string.Empty;
                }
            }
        }
    }

on the clear button event use this

textBox1.Clear();

and for a label you could use this

label1.Text = "";

it's that simple.

You can use <input type="reset" /> to do this..

Altenately you can assign a cssclass to each textbox and use jQuery to clear them.

jQuery is your friend:

$("#theButton").click(function() {
  $("[type=text]").val("");
});
