Do you use reset buttons?
I have found them in some legacy code and I always tend to delete them: less elements, easier to use. Somehow Jakob's thoughts on reset and cancel buttons are quite similar to mine: I don't find the point in having reset buttons.
What do you think? If you build a web app, do you add those buttons? And if you find a reset button in a form, have you ever used it? (I think I never pressed one of those buttons intentionally but accidentally, because they were placed in the same position in which one could expect to find the really useful Submit button).
I'm intrigued about what people do …

Last time I added a reset button in a form was ages ago.

May it be possible that Macromedia Dreamweaver added automaticly reset buttons to the forms? I can't remember exactly and I don't have any dreamweaver installed here to test…

La unica vez que he puesto un boton de reset en un formulario fue con una escopeta en el cuello (escopeta figurada claro)… Y que yo recuerde, de cuando he usado el dreamweaver… no te añade el boton de reset automaticamente… lo mismo es alguna extension que tenias instalada…
Ah! .. para cosas extrañas… el clasico retry-abort de los requesters de Amiga… eso si que era para mear y no echar gota…
