I have the following form which is getting pre populated with values on load. I want to have empty input boxes on load using Javascript. However I do not have access to the <body> tag so <body onload= will not work here. Is there any other way to clear the form fields on load?

<form method=POST action=>

  <input name=username id=user value= /><br />

  <input name=pwd id=pass value= />

  <input type=submit value=Go />

</form>

You can use window.onload instead.

function init() {

    // Clear forms here

    document.getElementById(user).value = ;

}

window.onload = init;

You could also use one of the nice wrappers for doing this in JQuery, Dojo, or you favorite Javascript library. In JQuery it would be,

$(document).ready(init)
