I have a form, which when submitted updates certain page elements  
using RJS. Within the form, I have a few text fields, which I would  
like to clear upon submission. Can someone tell me what I would need  
to do to do this?

Provide id’s to the forms you would like to clear and then just call  
them out in your rjs

page[‘form\_field\_id’].replace\_html “”
