Here is the two commonly suggested solutions.

  if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form') {
        $form['reset'] = array(
           '#type' => 'markup',
           '#value' => '<input '. drupal_attributes(array('type' => 'button', 'value' => t('Reset') )) .'onclick="javascript:$(this.form).clearForm();$(this.form).submit();" class="form-submit" />',
