Hello,

   I have a Person or Group column in an editform.aspx that I need to blank out when the user clicks a dropdown.  I have the eventhandler completely set up but cannot seem to get the input value to clear out.  I have tried

$("input[id*='hiddenSpanData']").val(''');

 

$("input[id*='OriginalEntities']").val(''');

$("input[id*='HiddenEntityDisplayText']").val(''');

$("div[id*='divEntityData']").attr('description','');

$("div[id*='divEntityData']").attr('displaytext','');

$("div[id*='divEntityData']").attr('key','');

all no dice. There is only one People or Group column on the page. JQuery finds all the elements and sets them to string.empty but the input is not blanked out.

 

 

Hello!

I'm not sure that it will work with PeoplePicker, but I adjusted to clear the pickers of  BDC fields as the following:

var somebdcFieldUpLevelDiv = document.getElementById('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_SomeBDCField_ctl00_99fc1877_4d3e_4d66_8efc_2648c544071b_Picker_upLevelDiv');
    if (somebdcFieldUpLevelDiv != null) {
        somebdcFieldUpLevelDiv.innerHTML = '';
       updateControlValue('ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_SomeBDCField_ctl00_99fc1877_4d3e_4d66_8efc_2648c544071b_Picker');
    }

Where updateControlValue is a built-in SharePoint JavaScript-function. Probably, you can use the same function, if not, try to find the similar, but which is for PeoplePicker.

ps and use proper element id(s)

Hi,

The following code should do it.

$(document).ready(

function () {

document.getElementById('<%= spPeoplePickerID.ClientID %>' + '_upLevelDiv').innerHTML = "";

});

This one worked for me.
