I'm currently using a YUI gadget. I also do have a Javascript function to validate the output that comes from the div
that YUI draws for me:
Event.on("addGadgetUrl", "click", function(){
var url = Dom.get("gadget_url").value; /* line x ------>*/
if (url == "") {
error.innerHTML = "<p> error" /></p>";
} else {
/* line y ---> */
/* I need to add some code in here to set the value of "gadget_url" by "" */
}
}, null, true);
Here is my div
:
<div>
<p>URL</p>
<input type="text" name="gadget_url" id="gadget_url" style="width: 350px;" class="input"/>
<input type="button" id="addGadgetUrl" value="add gadget"/>
<br>
<span id="error"></span>
</div>
As you can see my question is, how can I set the value of gadget_url
to be ""
?
This question is related to
javascript
input
yui
validation
document.getElementById('gadget_url').value = '';
Depending on the usecase it makes a difference whether you use javascript (element.value = x
) or jQuery $(element).val(x);
When x
is undefined
jQuery results in an empty String whereas javascript results in "undefined"
as a String.
I'm not using YUI, but in case it helps anyone else - my issue was that I had duplicate ID's on the page (was working inside a dialog and forgot about the page underneath).
Changing the ID so it was unique allowed me to use the methods listed in Sangeet's answer.
Try
gadget_url.value=''
addGadgetUrl.addEventListener('click', () => {_x000D_
gadget_url.value = '';_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
<p>URL</p>_x000D_
<input type="text" name="gadget_url" id="gadget_url" style="width: 350px;" class="input" value="some value" />_x000D_
<input type="button" id="addGadgetUrl" value="add gadget" />_x000D_
<br>_x000D_
<span id="error"></span>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
I don't know why so many downovotes (and no comments) - however (for future readers) don't think that this solution not work - It works with html provided in OP question and this is SHORTEST working solution - you can try it by yourself HERE
The following works in MVC5:
document.getElementById('theID').value = 'new value';
document.getElementById('gadget_url').value = 'your value';
