How to reset a form using jQuery with reset method

Question

I had working code that could reset my form when I click on a reset button. However after my code is getting longer, I realize that it doesn't work anymore.

<div id="labels">
  <table class="config">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th colspan="4"; style= "padding-bottom: 20px; color:#6666FF; text-align:left; font-size: 1.5em">Control Buttons Configuration</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Index</th>
        <th>Switch</th>
        <th>Response Number</th>
        <th>Description</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>            
      <form id="configform" name= "input" action="#" method="get">
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">1</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" value="" id="number_one"></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text"  id="label_one"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">2</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id = "number_two" value=""></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text"  id = "label_two"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">3</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="number_three" value=""></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="label_three"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align: center">4</td>
          <td><img src= "static/switch.png" height="100px" width="108px"></td>
          <td id="small"><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="number_four" value=""></td>
          <td><input style="background: white; color: black;" type="text" id="label_three"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td></td>
          <td><input type="submit" id="configsubmit" value="Submit"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><input type="reset" id="configreset" value="Reset"></td>
        </tr>
                  
      </form>
    </tbody>
  </table>
            
</div>

And my jQuery:

$('#configreset').click(function(){
    $('#configform')[0].reset();
});

Is there some source that I should include in my codes in order for the .reset() method to work? Previously I was using:

<script src="static/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="static/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>

and the .reset() method was working.

Currently I'm using

<script src="static/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>      
<script src="static/jquery-migrate-1.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="static/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.js"></script>

Could it possibly be one of the reason?

<input type="reset">
Syntax for reset(): formObject.reset()
Syntax to convert jQuery element to a JavaScript object. $(selector)[0].reset() or $(selector).get(0).reset()
