How to clear input text fields

hi,

 

I have some input field in my visualforce page.

 

If i click a command button, the values entered must be cleared automatically.

 

I tried this using javascript but i am not able to achieve the end result.

 

Please help me.

 

Regards,

S.Sivakumar.

1. you can write a method in controller class to nullify these values. Like
public void nullify() {
field = null;
}
use this method on a command button like
<apex:commandButton action="{!nullify}" value="Reset" />

2. Use javascript to do this. Write a javascript method and call it on button's onclick
like
document.getelementbyId('Your field html Id').value = null;
