Clear Value on Form Open

Forms Version 9

Updated May 2, 2017

asked on May 2, 2017

I have two fields that need to be cleared when the form opens. I don't care if there's already data in those fields or not.

This is what I have at the beginning:

$(document).ready(function(){
//set fields to hidden or readonly
  $(".read-only *").prop("readonly", true);//make fields with read-only class read-only
  $('.docNumberingID').hide();
//Rename Auto Fill Button
  $('.autofill').text('Validate');
//Blank out all reviewer actions and comments
  $('.structuralAction input').val('');
  $('.structuralComments input').show();
  $('.structuralComments input').val('');
  $('.structuralComments input').hide();
});  //close document.ready

What am I doing wrong? Everything else above it works fine!

For the Structural Comments line, use this instread

$('.structuralComments textarea').val('');

Try this. Wait about 4 seconds after the form loads and see if it clears it.

$(document).ready(function(){

setTimeout(function(){

  $(".structuralAction input").prop('checked', false);
  $('.structuralComments input').val('');

}, 4000);

});
