  Let's say you have this textbox in your page:

   <input type="text" id="NameTextBox" />

   

   And in your script:

  <script type="text/javascript">

  var textbox = document.getElementById("NameTextBox");

  textbox.focus(); /* add focus to the textbox */

  textbox.select(); /* select the text content inside the textbox */

  textbox.value = ''; /* clear the text rom the textbox */

  </script>
