Question

I want to place a cross button next to a text field, which, on clicking it, clears the value entered by the user. In other words, it empties the field. Please help..
And I also want to focus the field, but after some 2 or 3 seconds..

Answer 1

Like this:

$('#myButton').click( function () {
    $('#myField').val('');
});

Or without jQuery

document.getElementById('myButton').onclick = function () {
    document.getElementById('myField').value = '';
});
