Of course it does something and it works. What it should do is what is
does is what is outlined in the method comment
"When activated it resets all controls to their initial values."
To observe this behavior change the value in the input field named
"Input" and then press "Reset". Note that Seaside only creates reset
buttons. The actual behavior is implemented by the browser and
specified in section 17.2.1 of the HTML 4.01 spec.

Reset buttons are a rarely used feature and there are some people who
are arguing against using them. They are there merely for
completeness.
