reset input text

[janet24]

I have input text where people can answer a question. After they type something in the input field I want to reset or clear the text field.

When I set the Variable to 0 or null, I get a 0 or null in the input text. When I do nothing the previous answers stay in the text field. How do I reset it?

Thanks...

my_var = "";

It's a string...

my_var = "";

Thanks...I just realized that this works also!

my_var=check

 

[oldnewbie]

check?

I can't remember why I tried check or why it worked....I'll use the

my_var = "";

 

[oldnewbie]

Well, if in fact check = ""; then that would also work.

my_var = check

will work fine as it returns a boolean value if check is not a previously defined variable but without seeing more code its hard to see why you would use that instead of just setting it to blank

I used it because I didn't know what I was doing....and it worked. I used my_var = "";
