How can I have an image that when clicked would clear my textarea field?
The textarea field is the only element in my form and has a default value -
a couple lines of text..
I tried using a reset button but it only clears text that was just entered.
TIA!

Yes, the reset() method of forms returns all input elements to their default
values. In case you supply your own default value, this is what will be
used. To empty the element you then need to explicitly forward an empty
string, such as the pair of single quotes in the following:
<img src="..." width="..." height="..." alt=" Clear the textarea! "
onclick="docume nt.forms.FORMNA ME.elements.TEX TAREANAME.value =''; "

If you want to stay with buttons:
<html>
<head>
<title>clear.ht m</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<textarea name="area" cols="40" rows="4">Hello World</textarea>
<br><br>
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
<input type="button" value="Clear" onclick="docume nt.form1.area.v alue=''">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Note that
.value=''"
is typed as
".value=" + apostrophe + apostrophe + quotation mark This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I have another question..
Let's take a textarea with the parameter: "rows=4"
(<textarea rows=4 onkeydown="CheckScrollbar()"> )
If you start typing the scrollbar at the right is not active. Only when you
exceed the four lines (rows=4) the scrollbar becomes active.
That moment..the moment the scrollbar becomes active..can javascript
recognize/capture this moment?
Thanks, Simon

I'm working on a form to collect data in a textarea which and am trying to keep returns and spaces. I have a couple of functions that I Frankensteined together to replace returns with <br> and to replace spaces with .

Ok, another query....
I have a checkbox at the bottom of my form which when checked unhides a <div> block which displays the submit button.
The problem I have is when the clear form button is pressed it removes the check but does not re-hide the submit <div> bit.
The way i see it, I have 3 options:
1) To simply remove the clear for button.
2) To exclude the said checkbox from the CLEAR button function.
3) To have the CLEAR button run...

I have never had a textarea content change, in any browser.

Can anyone tell my what's wrong with the following code?

The alerts are there just to help find out where it fails.
The onClick isn't even getting executed, even though
I get it to work elsewhere.)

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
