Reset not working when I use addEventListener

Show all headers | View raw

Hello!

This works when I click the reset button in the form the confirm dialog in 
showReset is displayed.
If I click OK the fields in the form is cleared and if I click cancel the 
fields is not cleared. So far so good.
<body>
      <form id = "myForm" action = "#">
      ...
            <input id="reset" type="reset" value="Reset" onclick="return 
showReset();"/>
      </form>
</body>

<script type="text/javascript">
          function showReset(e)
          {
              return confirm("Do you really want to reset the form?");
          }
</script>

But this doesn't work. When I click the reset button in the form the 
anonymous function is called returning true if I click OK or false if I 
click cancel.
The only difference is that in the one that is working I have in the onclick 
attribute ="return showReset();"
So even if I click cancel the fields is cleared in this not working version
So what do I have to add to make this verion working ?

<body>
      <form id = "myForm" action = "#">
      ...
            <input id = "reset" type = "reset">
      </form>
</body>

<script type="text/javascript">
   myForm.addEventListener( "reset",
      function()
      {
         return confirm( "Are you sure you want to reset?" );
      },
      false );
</script>
