You need to change the js function name from clear() to something else. Because clear() is a java script built in function/method.

Why re-invent the wheel? You can do that with basic HTML:

<input type="reset" value="Reset" />

Just make sure that is inside your form and it will clear all the values.

I believe JavaScript already has a clear() function, try renaming your method. The following works for me :

function erase(){
        document.getElementById('bmw1').value = "";
}

Problem is with name of function which is already reserved for Document.

Please change your function name to other and it will work well.
