Clear a text box when disabling it?

Is there any way to clear a text box when you disable it? I have the following code:

[CODE]
function DisableName(aStatus) {
if (aStatus == 1) {
document.form1.R1.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R9.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R10.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R11.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R12[0].disabled = false ;
document.form1.R12[1].disabled = false ;
document.form1.R12[2].disabled = false ;
document.form1.R13.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R14.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R15.disabled = true ;
istatus = “1”
}
else {
document.form1.R1.disabled = false ;
document.form1.R9.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R10.disabled = false ;
document.form1.R11.disabled = false ;
document.form1.R12[0].disabled = true ;
document.form1.R12[1].disabled = true ;
document.form1.R12[2].disabled = true ;
document.form1.R13.disabled = true ;
document.form1.R14.disabled = false ;
document.form1.R15.disabled = false ;
istatus = “1”
}
[/CODE]

R1 is a text box. When this function runs, it disables the text box. However, I would like to clear the contents out of it at the same time. Can that be done?

That was the first thing I tried and it doesn't clear the text box. It still just disables it with the entered text in it.

@toicontienSep 16.2009 — Maybe this will help?
[CODE]function disableAndClearField( field ) {
if ( field.nodeName == "INPUT" ) {
if ( field.type == "text" ) {
field.value = "";
}
else if ( field.type == "checkbox" || field.type == "radio" ) {
field.checked = false;
}
}
else {
field.value = "";
}

field.disabled = true;
field = null;
}[/CODE]
And to use it:
[CODE]var myField = document.getElementById( "field_id" );

disableAndClearField( myField );[/CODE]

@lordvaderiiiauthorSep 16.2009 — Thanks. The first one ended up working (as soon as I put it in the right function). ?

Success!
