On change Select option, clear fields

Expand Post »

Hi,

I'm sure this should be easy, but just can't work it out.

I have a select dropdown with several options. The user selects an option and fills out the following few fields. If the user then changes his mind and changes the option in the dropdown, I want all the fields - or just the ones already filled out - to be cleared.

Note: reset() of the form is not an option as there are other things going on (hide/display of fields based on the dropdown option selected).

Any help is much appreciated!

Re: On change Select option, clear fields

That is indeed easy to do:

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<select onchange='clearFields()'>
.... Some other html etc....
<input type='text' id='InputId' maxlength='255' />
<select onchange='clearFields()'>
.... Some other html etc....
<input type='text' id='InputId' maxlength='255' />

And then the javascript:

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
function clearFields() {
 document.getElementById('InputId').value = "";
}
function clearFields() {
 document.getElementById('InputId').value = "";
}
