How to reset the input Text value to blank on a click of a button

Gurus, 
I am doing a simple search and displaying the result. I am getting the value of the input field by
Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get()
String Name = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Name'); 
    String Description= Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Description'); 
    String ProductType= Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('ProductType');
Now, I want to clear the values on ProcessSelected() method
by using the code below:
Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().put ('Name',null);

However, it does not update the value to blank on the visualforce page.

Any suggestions?

Ok - I see what you're doing now.

Without gutting your code and pursuing a different approach, if you create another Javascript function:
 
function doSearch() {
        searchServer(
          document.getElementById("Name").value,
          document.getElementById("Description").value,
          document.getElementById("ProductType").value
          );
}

function clearName() {
     document.getElementById("Name").value = '';
}

Then just add an "oncomplete" to your actionFunction to clear that field via the Javascript function:
 
<apex:actionFunction name="searchServer" action="{!runSearch}" rerender="results,debug,errors" oncomplete="clearName();">
          <apex:param name="Name" value="" />
          <apex:param name="Description" value="" />
          <apex:param name="ProductType" value="" />
      </apex:actionFunction>

That should do it without refactoring!

Those parameters are for pulling values in when the page loads and setting them for the next page you go to.  You'll want to reference the controller variable you are binding your "search" input field to.

In ProcessSelected() method set all these variables to null and rerender the search section.
Name=null;
Description=null;
ProductType=null;

Hi Andy, 
Can you give me an example.  I am totally lost here. 
Andy BoettcherAndy Boettcher
To do that, you'd need to post your code so we can see what you're really doing. :)

Ok - I see what you're doing now.

Without gutting your code and pursuing a different approach, if you create another Javascript function:
 
function doSearch() {
        searchServer(
          document.getElementById("Name").value,
          document.getElementById("Description").value,
          document.getElementById("ProductType").value
          );
}

function clearName() {
     document.getElementById("Name").value = '';
}

Then just add an "oncomplete" to your actionFunction to clear that field via the Javascript function:
 
<apex:actionFunction name="searchServer" action="{!runSearch}" rerender="results,debug,errors" oncomplete="clearName();">
          <apex:param name="Name" value="" />
          <apex:param name="Description" value="" />
          <apex:param name="ProductType" value="" />
      </apex:actionFunction>

That should do it without refactoring!

try below code in your function

Name='';
Description='';
ProductType='';

Hi Andy, 
Your changes are clearing any text I type in the search . How can I use this for action ​ProcessSelected 
Andy BoettcherAndy Boettcher
Gaurav,

I think we are misunderstanding each other.  What is the actual desired result (not technical) that you're trying to achieve?  I understood that you were trying to clear the "Name" field after your search ran via "ProcessSelected".
Gaurav AgnihotriGaurav Agnihotri
Hi Andy, 
I was able to get the desired result by adding oncomplete on apex:commandButton
<apex:commandButton action="{!ProcessSelected}" value="Add Selected Items" reRender="block2,errors" oncomplete="clearName();"/>

It works fine.
Thank you for your help.
Regards, 
Gaurav
