Reset text field on Mouse press / Input - jQuery UI Autocomplete

Simple JS fiddle containing my code in working state
I have a jQuery UI Autocomplete field, with a Dropdown button attached. It works floorlessly, however - its kinda annoying you have to manually delete the words inside the field for a search.
I am unsure if jQuery UI has a feature for it, unless i'd love to know.
I've tried to use onClick functions with JS, however since my field is not exactly an "form field" I've got kinda lost here.
My goal is to: reset the text field when a user presses it.It has prewritten text in it "Please select (Or Type)"
my cshtml file looks as following
cshtml
And it looks like this on the browser browser
Code for Image 1:
<select asp-for="Dinosaur" class="combobox" id="dinoType" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<Dinosaurs>()">
<option selected="selected" type="text" onclick="resetText()" value="0">Please select (Or Type)</option>
</select>
<span asp-validation-for="Dinosaur" class="text-dark" />
As you can see it has the text in, which i have to CTRL + A, DELETE before i can search in my field.
A function to clear this text when a user presses it will easen the pressure.
I might just be stupid to see the simple solution, i just feel like I've tried some of the things that I'd believe would work. (As the onclick="ResetText()" with a JS code attached to it)
When I click on drop down this is what showing.
Best Regards,

You don't want to wire an onclick listener on your option element, you want an onchange event listener on your select element. onclick is not supported on option elements.

use onchange instead of using onclick and this action should be on the select tag. not on the options. Try this example.
$('select').on('change', function() {
if (this.value === 'disabled') {
this.value = '';
}
console.log(this.value);
});

<select asp-for="Dinosaur" class="combobox" id="dinoType" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<Dinosaurs>()">
<option selected="selected" type="text" value="disabled">Please select (Or Type)</option>
<option type="text" value="One">One</option>
<option type="text" value="two">two</option>
</select>
<span asp-validation-for="Dinosaur" class="text-dark" />

How to make a <div> show only when a certain <select> dropdown option is selected? The <select> options are populated with the ng-repeat directive

I have a select dropdown list populated with the angularjs ng-repeat directive. I would like for a div to show only when a certain option is selected.
Here is the code:
<select type="text"
class="form-control"
ng-model="vm.request.requestType"
name="requestType" id="requestType"
placeholder=""
required>
<option selected></option>
<option value="test">test</option>
<option ng-repeat="requestType in vm.requestTypes">{{requestType}}</option>
</select>
<script>
$(function() {
$("#requestType").change(function () {
if ($("#test").is(":selected")) {
$("#continueCheckbox").show();
} else {
$("#continueCheckbox").hide();
}
}).trigger('change');
});
</script>
<div id="continueCheckbox">
<input type="checkbox"
name="continueCheckbox"
value="continueCheckbox">
Check this box to continue, and to confirm that you have read the
Documentation
</div>
The "test" option is just for testing if the function works. Currently, the checkbox displays no matter what is selected, and never disappears.

I highly recommend not mixing AngularJS and jQuery. Both are DOM manipulation frameworks and do not work well together. Here is one way you could accomplish what you are after with AngularJS:
<div id="continueCheckbox" ng-if="vm.request.requestType === 'test'">
<input type="checkbox"
name="continueCheckbox"
value="continueCheckbox">
Check this box to continue, and to confirm that you have read the Documentation
</div>

Have you tried using the ng-class directive?
<div id="continueCheckbox" ng-class="selected: vim.request.requestType === 'test'"></div>
Then handle the style in .css file
.selected {
display: none;
}

If you wanted to use jQuery, you could just check the value of the select. You have it set up already.
var selectType=$(this).val();
if (selectType=="test") // instead of if ($("#test").is(":selected"))
You could also use vanilla JS with .value to do your comparison.

Display content based on Select Menu dropdown change

I'm currently using the following to display an input field when I change a dropdown menu selection:
<select id="delivery_country" name="d_country" onchange="
if (this.selectedIndex==14){
this.form['statesUSA'].style.visibility='visible'
}else {
this.form['statesUSA'].style.visibility='hidden'
};">
However, this only changes the input form element called "statesUSA".
If I want to show the div that this form element is inside, how do I do this?
For the record, my HTML reads:
<div id="usa">
<input type="text" id="statesUSA" />
</div>
Many thanks for any pointers.

use document.getElementById(id)
this:
<select id="delivery_country" name="d_country" onchange="if (this.selectedIndex==14){document.getElementById('usa').style.visibility='visible'}else {document.getElementById('usa').style.visibility='hidden'};">

jQuery show/hide multiple 'Other' input fields based on select drop down

I am using the follwoing jQuery to show/hide an 'Other' title field on page:
$('label[for=customerTitleOther], #customerTitleOther').hide();
$('.jTitle').change(function() {
if($(this).val() != 'Other') {
$('label[for=customerTitleOther], .jOther').hide();
}
else {
$('label[for=customerTitleOther], .jOther').show();
}
});
The field & associated label are hidden by default. However, the application i am building has scope for multiple entries on the same page so there may be multiple other fields like. Any ideas on how to extend the jQuery to cope with any number of 'Other' fields on page?

Well, it's not trivial, but what I've implemented is a "toggleOnSwitch" mechanism. Fragments of the page are annotated with the class name "toggleOnSwitch" and another class that tells what <option>, checkbox, or radio button determines visibility. The event handlers attached to the "toggler" elements (that is, the <options> or input fields) add or remove a particular class from the "toggled" elements, and (when switched "off" make sure that input fields are marked as "disabled" and a couple of other book-keeping tasks like that.
One trick is that when the "toggler" element is something like an <option> or a radio button input, when one element is toggled "off" the code has to check to see whether another element is toggled "on". That's because there's no event logged when one radio button loses the "checked" setting because another one has been clicked.
I've been thinking about posting my code for this, but it'd have to be cleaned up a little and stripped of one or two specialized hacks for my own application. Also, I'd want to make it use John Resig's "metadata" plugin instead of the cheesy version I did myself (before I knew "metadata.js" is available).

To answer my own question:
$(".jTitle").change(function(){
//set the select value
var val = $(this).val();
if(val != "Other") {
$(this).nextAll('.jOther').hide();
} else {
$(this).nextAll('.jOther').show();
}
})
With the HTML being:
<td>
<select id="titleDepend1" class="inlineSpace jTitle">
<option value="Please select">Please select...</option>
<option value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option value="Mrs">Mrs</option>
<option value="Ms">Ms</option>
<option value="Miss">Miss</option>
<option value="Dr">Dr</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
<label for="otherDepend1" class="inlineSpace jOther">Other</label>
<input type="text" class="text jOther" name="otherDepend1" id="otherDepend1" maxlength="6" />
</td>
So all the following elements with class jOther will be shown onChange.

Show Additional Content Based on Selection

Is this also the Risk Address:
<select name="InsuredSALicense2" id="InsuredSALicense2">
<option>Please Select</option>
<option>Yes</option>
<option>No</option>
</select>
If the answer here is "No" then a hidden drop down must be created.
If No, Please give details:
<textarea name="InsuredOther License2"
id="InsuredOther License2"
cols="30" rows="4"></textarea>
<form id="form4" name="form4" method="post" action="">
Say that on the form I want to create a drop down (example: "Do you...", please select yes/no): if the answer is "Yes" then drop down a section if no then don't drop down section.
This form was done in dreamweaver cs4.

You could do this relatively easy. Using the javascript framework jQuery, you could do something like the following:
/* Attach an event to your dropdown menu containing Yes/No */
$("#InsuredSALicense2").change(function(){
/* Check Value After Change */
if (this.val() == "Yes") {
/* Show the dropdown field */
$("#hiddenDIV").show();
} else {
/* Hide the dropdown field */
$("#hiddenDIV").hide();
}
});
This example assumes your "hidden" dropdown is within a called "hiddenDIV":
<div id="hiddenDIV">
<p>Hidden drop down stuff here</p>
</div>
To use this code-sample, you need to reference the jQuery library from your tag.
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

are you wrokin in ASP.net??
If you are workin in ASP.net..you can create a hidden dropdown list on the event of Dropdownlist text change...first you can check what is the value of selected dropdown list...
let me know if you have any questions

I think the a good solution would be doing it client-side: so generate both the textarea and the dropdown menu. Hide the one that is not the default (style="visibility: hidden" for example). Then create an onchange event on the InsuredSALicense2 listbox, which hides the not important field and shows the important one.
