Input[type="search"] is not clearing after 'X' is clicked.

Hi all,

I'm having an issue when using the textbox widget in Visual Designer. It seems that the 'X' to clear the input is only clearing it from the UI, but not actually clearing the value that is stored. I am setting the property "input type" to search in the textbox widget, by the way.



In the above snippet, the Input on the left is just taking a string and outputting it to the right after I hit the enter key. I start off with typing "Test 1" and hitting enter, with "Test 1" being output on the right. That works fine. Then I do the same with "Test 2" and "Test 3". That works fine as well.

Now, when I hit the 'X' to clear the Input, it shows that it is cleared in the UI, but when I hit enter, it seems to just populate back with the previous string that was in there, and it doesn't clear on the right either.

Can anyone figure out why this is happening?

Thank you.

I've never used this before.

It sounds like you're enabling a feature of the underlying html element to clear itself. This would be fine if you were coding your own html, but there's more to a profound ui widget than just one html tag, it's multiple tags working together as well as a javascript framework that tracks information internally. Simply clearing one element without updating all the other corresponding stuff would not work right.

You have two choices:

1) Report this as a bug to Profound Support, and they will consider whether its possible to make the widget recognize the clear button and work properly.

or

2) Don't use this feature.
