jquery.form.js用法之清空form的方法

本段代码摘取自jquery.form.js中，由于觉得该方法的使用性非常强，同时也可独立拿出来使用。
该段代码言简意赅可以很好的作为学习参考。

/**
 * Clears the form data. Takes the following actions on the form\'s input fields:
 * - input text fields will have their \'value\' property set to the empty string
 * - select elements will have their \'selectedIndex\' property set to -1
 * - checkbox and radio inputs will have their \'checked\' property set to false
 * - inputs of type submit, button, reset, and hidden will *not* be effected
 * - button elements will *not* be effected
 */

    });
};
$.fn.clearFields = $.fn.clearInputs = function(includeHidden) {
    var re = /^(?:color|date|datetime|email|month|number|password|range|search|tel|text|time|url|week)$/i; // \'hidden\' is not in this list
    return this.each(function() {
