onSubmit dont want to clear form

hi all

i have two date fields which i dont want to get clear after submitting.

actually i have two buttons which perform different functions like one button will show records and if records are

corect then on click of second buton the email will be send but will work only if both my fields are filled.

so in this case the user has to enter informtaion in both fields again and again. thats why i dont want the fields

information entered to be clear on submit.

see if this works:
