Hi Jeff,

i tested and works. +1 for this.

I would like to change trashcan icon because action is not delete, it's 
reset. I don't know if we have an icon for. may be redo icon is something 
for.

One nitpicking: I don't like to have the action written in onclick, it would 
be better to create an extra js file for it and make a class with 
clickobserver like the others in BE. It's better to maintain / extend. i 
think in general with prototype we should try to get rid of the onclick to 
seperate hatml and JS.
