I have a question regarding clearing an input text field when a different drop down on teh same page is clicked, the value in the input text field should be cleared. Here is my jQuery ftn. The alert message is shown everytime I select an option from drop down but the field does not get cleared. Any idea what the correct syntax should be:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("[id$='serialNumForm:noSerialNumProductKey']").change(function () {
alert("In jquery change ftn!!");
jQuery("[id$='serialNumForm:inputSN']").value="";
});
});
I have a form Id so I need to prepend the Id to the element id name. the alert displays fine just the value does not change.

To clear an input field after submitting:When the button is clicked, set the input field's value to an empty string. Setting the field's value to an empty string resets the input.
find('input:text'). val(''); $('input:checkbox'). removeAttr('checked'); }); One will clear all text inputs.
You can use the onfocus attribute in JavaScript to clear a textbox or an input box when somebody sets focus on the field. If you are using jQuery, then use the . focus() method to clear the field.
You want to use:
jQuery("[id$='serialNumForm:inputSN']").val("");
Calling "jQuery("[id$='serialNumForm:inputSN']")" doesn't return you an input element - instead it returns you a jQuery object. You have two options:
Use this to get the core element:
jQuery("[id$='serialNumForm:inputSN']").get(0)
Or, as Justin mentioned, use the jQuery val() method:
jQuery("[id$='serialNumForm:inputSN']").val("");
The second way is more reliable, since it applies the value to all matching elements, while the first only applies it to the first matching element (as indicated by the 0 in the get(0) )
