Question

I want to clear a value of a span inside a div without deleteing other contents only the contents of a span.

ex:
body:

<div id="content">
  <span>one</span>

  <input type="text" />
  <input type="text" />

  <span>two</span>
  <span>three</span>

  <select>
        <option selected="selected" value=""></option>
        <option value="Monday">Monday</option>
        <option value="Tuesday">Tuesday</option>
        <option value="Wednesday">Wednesday</option>
        <option value="Thursday">Thursday</option>
        <option value="Friday">Friday</option>
        <option value="Saturday">Saturday</option>
        <option value="Sunday">Sunday</option>
  </select>
</div>

script:

<script type="text/javascript">
function restSel() {
   document.getElementById("#content span").innerHTML="";
};
</script>

Clear all the spans or the content of all the spans.

If you were using JQuery ( which will bring you much joy ), then you could do it like this.

$("span").html("");
