Xojo version 2022r4.1 on Windows 10
Simple question. How do I clear the text from the WebSearchField using code?
I know that I can click on the X in the search field but I need to clear it using code in a button event.
I tried mysearchfield.text = “” but that did not do anything.
Thanks
did you call updatebrowser after setting the text property ?
Maybe this is related?
Setting WebSearchField.Text to a string value in code does not do anything

Updatebrowser did not work. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the link. That is the same problem that I am having. Maybe Xojo will fix it one day.

That is great! I will get the latest version.
Thanks
Well darn, 2023r2 has not released yet.
If you want to test pre-release versions, check:
is an old post, maybe something have changed since. You can always send an email to hello@xojo.com and ask if you can become a tester.
Gary has a Pro Licence he gets the beta channel as well.
Sorry Gary, yes, I meant it will include the fix, but it’s in beta.
I wonder why it doesn’t work?
Var js As String
js = "document.getElementById('" + SearchField1.ControlID + "_search').value = ''; console.log('" + SearchField1.ControlID + "');"
ExecuteJavaScript(js)
“console.log” works.
if execute this code in console everything works fine, Search Field 1 is cleared
That seems to be working fine on Safari and Chrome, what Browser and OS are you using?
Windows 10. I tested on Chrome, Firefox and Edge - does not work 
In Button1.Pressed, try to remove the first line:
// Remove this line
SearchField1.Text = ""
Leave just the JS part.
