1. are you using GET method? 2. use VS debugger and check the flow. Tell us whats causing it if you are unable to resolve it.

It says, clear the form on submit and reload the page! Where are you doing a DB update? Redirection to other page? further,
targetattributes generally work withactionattribute. Why have you used target here? -

1. submit first. Use a Submit button 2. on button click event handler, insert the data in database 3. you don't need to clear the form! As you are already going to a Thank you page. Just redirect it the thanks page. 4. Whenever a new person does a survey, the page will load afresh and the controls will auto reset. Just in case (which you shouldnt!), you have a flow where you have to reset the controls manually for such kind of survey functionality - then do it on server side for that particular scenario. Clear the controls values of that panel.
