clear the old values from textbox using jquery

Question

I am looking for a way to clear the old values from text box when I refresh the page using jquery. I tried this code but it didn't work.

$('#flip_list_search').value = "";

Answer 1

Try this

$("#flip_list_search").val('');

Answer 2

Use .val()

$('#flip_list_search').val('');

or

$('#flip_list_search')[0].value ='';

---

.value works with native DOM Object $('#flip_list_search') is jQuery Object

$('#flip_list_search')[0] to get first native DOM Object

Answer 3

$("input#flip_list_search","#Your_form_Id").val('');

You can use this. It will be more help to detect your element. Here #Your_form_Id is the id that contains your text box. jQuery search your text box only the #Your_form_Id portion in lieu of whole DOM.
