Ok, so I have a filterable search form that returns certain images in a grid, which works great, it resets when I delete the text in the search input, but when I click the "Clear" button, which should do the same thing as deleting the text, it doesn't work. Here is the HTML and JQuery used:
<form id="live-search" action="" class="styled" method="post" style="margin: 2em 0;">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="filter" value="" style="width: 80%; float: left;" placeholder="Type to search"/>
<span id="filter-count"></span>
<input type="button" class="clear-btn" value="Clear" style="background: transparent; border: 2px solid #af2332; color: #af2332; padding: 5px 15px; border-radius: 3px; font-size: 18px; height: 34px;">
</div>
</form>
This is the JQuery for the clearing text:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#filter").keyup(function(){
// Retrieve the input field text and reset the count to zero
var filter = jQuery(this).val(), count = 0;
// Loop through the ment list
jQuery(".watcheroo").each(function(){
jQuery(this).removeClass('active');
// If the list item does not contain the text phrase fade it out
if (jQuery(this).text().search(new RegExp(filter, "i")) < 0) {
jQuery(this).fadeOut();
// Show the list item if the phrase matches and increase the count by 1
} else {
jQuery(this).show();
count++;
}
});
// Update the count
var numberItems = count;
});
//clear button remove text
jQuery(".clear-btn").click( function() {
jQuery("#filter").value = "";
});
});
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

value is a property on a DOMElement, not a jQuery object. Use val('') instead:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#filter").keyup(function() {
var filter = $(this).val(),
count = 0;
$(".watcheroo").each(function(){
var $watcheroo = $(this);
$watcheroo.removeClass('active');
if ($watcheroo.text().search(new RegExp(filter, "i")) < 0) {
$watcheroo.fadeOut();
} else {
$watcheroo.show();
count++;
}
});
var numberItems = count;
});
$(".clear-btn").click(function() {
$("#filter").val(''); // <-- note val() here
});
});
Note that I amended your code to alias the instance of jQuery passed in to the document.ready handler. This way you can still use the $ variable safely within the scope of that function.
As the accepted answer doesn't solve the problem.
Try input event instead of keyup
$("#filter").on("input", function() {.....
& then clear the filter input field on which event you want.
$(".clear-btn").on("click", function() {
$("#filter").val("").trigger("input");
});
Add this to your CSS:
input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button {
-webkit-appearance: searchfield-cancel-button;
}<form>
<input type="search" name="search" placeholder="Search...">
</form>
