Empty a text field

[Qben]

I i have a form that looks like this:


<form name="form" method="post" action="page2.php" target="frame2">
<input type="text" name="message">
<input type="text" name="time">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post">
</form>


I want to empty the field "message" on submit.
How do i do that?

Something like:

form.message.value="";

should work.

It does empty the field,
but it doesn't send the value that you put before it resets the field..

Do you want the form to submit, sending the value that was in the field, THEN reset the field?

[Qben]

yes

[clairec666]

So you are working with frames, and the form will submit to the 2nd frame, but you will still see the form in the original frame........... I think this is what you mean :D

So when the form is submitted, you will need to submit the form, and then set a timeout so that another funtion is called, which then resets the field. Does this make sense?

[Qben]

Yes that correct

<form name="form" method="post" action="page2.php" target="frame2">
<input type="text" name="message">
<input type="text" name="time">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post" onclick="submitfunction(); return true">
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide from old browsers
function submitfunction() {
form.message.value="";
}
-->
</script>
