Clearing DIV contents and TEXTAREA contents with JQuery

April 13, 2009 — pucadinga

jquery-logoSimple question, simple answer!

I often wondered how and if this could be done, and seems to me like its extremely simple:

Assuming you have:

<div id=”darea”>div contents here…</div>
<textarea id=”tarea”>textarea contents…</textarea>

All you have to do in JQuery to clear the contents is:

$(‘#tarea’).val(”);
$(‘#darea’).text(”);

And this should clear the corresponding div and textarea.

Hope this helps someone out there!

    This simple javascript seems to work as well: 

    // <p id="test">some text</p>
document.getElementById("test").text = "";

    Haven’t really bothered to test it in all browsers, hope this helps for when you don’t want to include include on the page.

    Indeed, thanks for that :)
    That is a non-jquery way of clearing the text, which should be helpful to all who don’t use JQuery.

    Not sure when this was added, but JQuery now supports the call empty();

    So, you could use something like:

    $(this).empty();
