$("#sEmail").get(0).reset();should work. reset() is not a chainable method of jquery.-AshutoshOn 8/22/06, Bruce MacKay <

Thanks for the responses Kenton,Matt.  I've only been partially
successful however in progressing these solutions.
I have tried your solutions: The .val is partially successful in that it
erases a form element's content, but only by inserting a blank space in
its place  (e.g. $("#sComment").val(" ");).

The ID of my form is 'commentsFormZ' but I cannot get the .reset()
option to fire at all.   
What am I doing wrong?
My code (with the various attempts) is:
$.fn.ajaxSubmit = function(e) {this.submit(function(){ var params =
{}; $(this) .find("[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]'text'],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'hidden'], [EMAIL PROTECTED]'password'], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
textarea") .filter(":enabled") .each(function() { params[
this.name || this.id
 || this.parentNode.name || 
this.parentNode.id ] =
this.value;
});$("div#indicate").show();$("div#comments3").hide();
$.post(this.getAttribute("action"), params,
function(text){
        
   $("div#indicate").hide();
       
$("div#comments2").html(text).fadeIn("slow");
       
$("commentsFormZ").reset();
       
$("#sComment").val(" ");
       
$("#sEmail").reset();
       
$('#hilightcomment').highlightFade({color:'yellow',speed:2000,iterator:'linear'})
        }); return false;
});}

At 12:46 p.m. 21/08/2006, you wrote:
Or do
$("formElement").reset(); 
, that would reset the form to its original state.

Hi folks,

I use the function below to send user comments to a database and get
refreshed on the current page - no problems.

However, I cannot seem to "erase" the contents of the
comments form (id=NewCommentZ) for subsequent use - the text area and
text input elements remain populated with the previously entered
content.

The disabled lines in the code below are my guesses - no more - of
how to erase the form's contents, but I wasn't lucky.

I'd appreciate someone providing me with some direction/hint towards
a solution.

Thanks,

Bruce

this.name ||
this.id ||
this.parentNode.name ||
this.parentNode.id ] =
this.value; });
toggleContent('NewCommentZ');$.post(this.getAttribute("action"),
params, function(text){

       
$("div#comments2").html(text).fadeIn("slow");

       
$('#hilightcomment').highlightFade({color:'yellow',speed:2000,iterator:'linear'})

       
//$("NewCommentZ").html("");

       
//$(this).find("[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]'text'],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'hidden'], [EMAIL PROTECTED]'password'], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
textarea").html("");

        }); return false;
});}
