<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function cleartext(){
document.forms(0).txtpane.value = "";
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Clear" ONCLICK="cleartext()">

I tried that, but it would not get rid of the text that was already there
just newly typed text. Can you test this to make sure?

for any kind of form field will reset it to whatever value it had when the
page was loaded.
For a text area or a text box, just set the value to an empty string.
txtArea1.value = "";

Please explain to a JavaScript idiot(me) how I can clear a textarea box on
the screen. It's an asp page and I load the box with text before it
displays. A reset seems to only clear what has been typed and not what was
already in the box. I have a standard submit button on the screen that says
"Compose New" and I want it to clear the textarea.
Thanks
Rob
