Since you are not quoting what you are referring to, I do not know what you 
mean by “suggested change”.  Please read the FAQ on quoting.

The form is cleared if it is submitted classically, the server does not 
respond with status 204 “No Content”, and it does not respond with a filled-
in form, in a time span so short that you cannot see the difference, either.

It is also cleared if the script says it is to be cleared after its data is 
submitted non-classically, with XMLHttpRequest or (as Michael Haufe pointed 
out to me on Twitter), with the WHATWG Fetch API (currently experimental) 
[1], and there is no client-side script error before.

Use debugging (again, see the FAQ) to find out what happens.
“Does not work” is not a problem description.

BTW, the English pronoun, “I”, is *always* written with a capital letter.
