After clearing the input, I want to display all the original li's again. The issue is that even though .value = '' clears the input, the filter remains active.
I could really use some help with this as it's starting to get on my nerves.
(I've removed the CSS, but you can still visualize it quite well, thanks!)
var myInput = document.getElementById('myInput');
function myFunction() {
var input, filter, ul, li, a, i, txtValue;
input = document.getElementById("myInput");
filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
ul = document.getElementById("myUL");
li = ul.getElementsByTagName("li");
for (i = 0; i < li.length; i++) {
a = li[i].getElementsByTagName("a")[0];
txtValue = a.textContent || a.innerText;
if (txtValue.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter) > -1) {
li[i].style.display = "";
} else {
li[i].style.display = "none";
}
}
}
var h2 = document.getElementById('hh');
h2.addEventListener('click', clear);
function clear() {
myInput.value = '';
}<h2 id="hh">Click here to empty input</h2>
<input type="text" id="myInput" onkeyup="myFunction()" placeholder="Search for names.." title="Type in a name">
<ul id="myUL">
<li><a href="#">Adele</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Agnes</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Billy</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Bob</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Calvin</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Christina</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Cindy</a></li>
</ul>
