Dear Forum,

How do I remove the default value from a textbox when it is defined by the following HTML?

(textarea name="Area0" rows="4" cols="80")
Here; gibberish that I don't need.
(/textarea)

Please replace parentheses with < and >.

var myTextArea = $x("//textarea[@name='Area0']")[0]; //this is your textarea
myTextArea.textContent = "";

To use Arvid's elegant code you need to include the $x function form the standard library post

Works perfect! Thanks Arvid and alien. :)
