Clear OPAC self-registration form when back button pressed
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(); }); David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Direct: 02 8005 0595
I’m for it! Thanks for this! Marti Fuerst Systems Librarian Huntsville-Madison County Public Library 915 Monroe St, Huntsville, AL 35801 http://hmcpl.org/ — mfuerst@hmcpl.org

I’ve had good feedback from the client I implemented this for. It’s worth noting that it’s only going to work in newer browsers, and you’ll want to wrap it in another condition in your OpacUserJS. I like doing something like this: var pathname = window.location.pathname; if (pathname == '/cgi-bin/koha/opac-memberentry.pl'){ $(window).bind("pageshow", function() { var form = $('#memberentry-form'); form[0].reset(); }); } You could add some more checking around form as well. Probably using “form.length” since a selector that doesn’t match will usually still return an object I think. Maybe the pathname check is unnecessary, but I figure it saves the client browser from doing unnecessary work unless it’s on the correct page.
