Javascript how to make a reset button

rated 0 times [ 51] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 31024 / 13 Years ago, wed, july 6, 2011, 12:00:00

Once a user enters lets say 5 numbers into that list I want to have a reset button so if the user wants to delete them all instantly they can click reset which should delete the entire list....

I have tried making a reset button with a reset function that fetches the element by id and tries to delete it but it did not quite work so I am hoping someone here knows how to do that...

here is the fiddle

See this updated fiddle. Key code:

document.getElementById(reset).onclick = function() {

   document.getElementById(numbers).innerHTML = ;

};

To clarify, since this appears to have confused other posters - the numbers div is a placeholder for one or more dynamically-created input elements, not a reference to the original number input. By setting innerHTML to , the above code deletes the dynamically created elements entirely - it's not trying to clear their values.
