Jquery Setting Value of Input Field

Question

I have an input field and i am trying to set its value using its class

<form:input path="userName" id="userName" title="Choose A Unique UserName" readonly="${userNameStatus}" class="formData"/>

Which renders as:

<input id="userName" name="userName" title="Choose A Unique UserName" class="formData" type="text" value=""/>

I am using the following jquery but this does not seem to work. Can someone tell me where i am going wrong.

$(".formData").html("");

Edited JQuery Function that handles the event

$('#reset').click(function (){
            $("#userNameErr").text(""); 
            $('#badgeNoErr').text("");

            $(".errors").html("");

            $(".formData").val("");

        });

nor is $(".formData").text("") or $(".formData").val("") working.

Answer 1

This should work.

$(".formData").val("valuesgoeshere")

For empty

$(".formData").val("")

If this does not work, you should post a jsFiddle.

Demo:

 $(function() { $(".resetInput").on("click", function() { $(".formData").val(""); }); }) 

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="text" class="formData" value="yoyoyo"> <button class="resetInput">Click Here to reset</button> 

Answer 2

If the input field has a class name formData use this : $(".formData").val("data")

If the input field has an id attribute name formData use this : $("#formData").val("data")

If the input name is given use this : $("input[name='formData']").val("data")

You can also mention the type. Then it will refer to all the inputs of that type and the given class name: $("input[type='text'].formData").val("data")

Answer 3

change your jquery loading setting to onload in jsfiddle . . .it works . . .

Answer 4

use this code for set value in input tag by another id.

$(".formdata").val(document.getElementById("fsd").innerHTML);

or use this code for set value in input tag using classname="formdata"

$(".formdata").val("hello");

Answer 5

$('.formData').attr('value','YOUR_VALUE')

Answer 6

You just write this script. use input element for this.

$("input").val("valuesgoeshere"); 

or by id="fsd" you write this code.

$("input").val(document.getElementById("fsd").innerHTML);

Answer 7

Put your jQuery function in

$(document).ready(function(){

});

It's surely solved.
