Simple reusable clear form function in asp.net using jquery?

I ve created a function which clears the form without writing much javascript code.

$.fn.clearForm = function() {
return this.each(function() {
    var type = this.type, tag = this.tagName.toLowerCase();
    if (tag == 'form') {
        $('td.status', this).empty();
        return $(':input', this).clearForm();
    }
    if (type == 'text' || type == 'password' || tag == 'textarea' || tag ==
                                 'label')
        this.value = '';
    else if (type == 'checkbox' )
        this.checked = false;
    else if (tag == 'select')
        this.selectedIndex = -1;

});
};

and just call this as,

function clearaddform() {
    $("#aspnetForm").clearForm();
  }

and now you can just call clearaddform function from your button.
