Rails - Aug 2005 - clear out a text field on an ajax page

> submitted?  I assume javascript provides some means of doing this?
textfield.value = ""

You will likely want to create your own javascript method to handle
your event that goes something like:

myEvent = function() {
  textfield = document.getElementById(''textfield'')
  result = // result of remote action
  if (result) {
    textfield.value = ""
    }
  else {
    alert(''something horrible has happened'')
    }
  }

After submitting a remote form a text field that is submitted still 
contains the user input.  To avoid confusion I would like to clear out 
this box so that the user understands that their information has been 
submitted.
What would be the best way to clear out the text field after it is 
submitted?  I assume javascript provides some means of doing this?


Thank you,
