Hi,

I have a page with consist of frames. Frame 1 consist of a text field, a submit button and a clear button. When the user types a keyword in the text field and clicks on the submit button a post method is call and the result of the search is display in frame 2 however the keyword is being left in sight in the text field. How can I clear the text field when the submit button is clicked?

@ReisNov 01.2009 — Try this is the frame. Change the FORMNAME to the name of the form and INPUTNAME to the name of the input box. Then put clearText() in the insubmit section of the form:

<script>

function clearText() {

document.forms['FORMNAME'].INPUTNAME.value = '';

}

</script>

<form name="FORMNAME" onsubmit="clearText();">

<input type="text" name="INPUTNAME" />

</form>
