What do people think about clearing the OPAC self-registration form when back button pressed?

 

I used some code* from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8861181/clear-all-fields-in-a-form-upon-going-back-with-browser-back-button to implement it and it worked pretty well on the latest Chrome on Windows 10.

 

That way you don’t have people finding personal information about other people just by pressing “Back” on a public computer.

 

 

*

$(window).bind("pageshow", function() {

    var form = $('#memberentry-form');

    // let the browser natively reset defaults

    form[0].reset();

});
