I have update.rjs

if @category.errors.length \> 0  
page.replace\_html ‘flash\_box’, error\_messages\_for(:category)  
page.show ‘flash\_box’  
else  
page.hide ‘flash\_box’  
page.replace\_html @category.dom\_id, :partial =\> “category”, :locals =\> {  
:category =\> @category}  
page.visual\_effect :highlight, @category.dom\_id, :startcolor =\>  
“’#fff000’”  
page.replace\_html ‘form\_add\_new’, :partial =\> “index”  
page[“category\_form”].reset  
end

So basicly i am updating a div with edited category(works), then I try  
to replace the form from edit form to add new category form(works) but i  
cannot clear  
this form, it still has values from my edit form even though i am making  
a .reset.

This method works on my create.rjs  
i dont have errors in firebug.

> page[“category\_form”].reset

You may try something like :

page[‘new\_category’].down(‘form’).reset
