Question

I have an input field and i am trying to set its value using its class

<form:input path="userName" id="userName" title="Choose A Unique UserName" readonly="${userNameStatus}" class="formData"/>

Which renders as:

<input id="userName" name="userName" title="Choose A Unique UserName" class="formData" type="text" value=""/>

I am using the following jquery but this does not seem to work. Can someone tell me where i am going wrong.

$(".formData").html("");

Edited JQuery Function that handles the event

$('#reset').click(function (){
            $("#userNameErr").text(""); 
            $('#badgeNoErr').text("");

            $(".errors").html("");

            $(".formData").val("");

        });

nor is $(".formData").text("") or $(".formData").val("") working.

Answer 1

This should work.

$(".formData").val("valuesgoeshere")

For empty

$(".formData").val("")

If this does not work, you should post a jsFiddle.

Demo:

$(function() {
  $(".resetInput").on("click", function() {
    $(".formData").val("");
  });
})

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" class="formData" value="yoyoyo">


<button class="resetInput">Click Here to reset</button>
