Question

I have implemented the autocomplete using JQuery, when I select the data, it gets stored in the result table, after selecting, I need to clear the autocomplete textbox which i’m not able to. Searched for the same and got this Clear text box in Jquery Autocomplete after selection, but i did not know where to place it and also in the firebug, I got error at function(event,ui).
Pls help… my code is as follows.

$(function() {
    function log( message ) {


        $( "<div>" ).text( message ).prependTo( "#log" ).click(function(o){
            $(this).remove();
        });
        $( "#log" ).scrollTop( 0 );

    }


    $( "#poolName" ).autocomplete({
        source: function( request, response ) {
            $.ajax({
                url: "/DataWeb/getPoolName",
                type : 'post',
                dataType: 'json',
                data: { name_startsWith: request.term },
                success: function( data ) {
                    console.log(data);
                     response( $.map( data, function( item ) {
                        return {
                             label: item.poolName,
                             value: item.poolName
                        }
                    })); 
                }
            });
        },
        minLength: 1,
        select: function( event, ui ) {
            log( ui.item ?
                  ui.item.label :
                "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value);
        },
        open: function() {
            $( this ).removeClass( "ui-corner-all" ).addClass( "ui-corner-top" );
        },
        close: function() {
            $( this ).removeClass( "ui-corner-top" ).addClass( "ui-corner-all" );
        }

    });

});

I tried with this document.getElementById(“poolName”).value=””; and it is working.

function log( message ) {
        document.getElementById("poolName").value="";

        $( "<div>" ).text( message ).prependTo( "#log" ).click(function(o){
            $(this).remove();
        });
        $( "#log" ).scrollTop( 0 );

    }
