you really should work on formatting the codes..anyways to set an empty value .it should be `$('#update').val('');` — bipen, Jun 17 '13 at 07:44
But @Salman_A please do not indent the CODE 4 spaces from the script tag. It makes the indentation so deep we always have to scroll. — mplungjan, Jun 17 '13 at 07:46

Try this:

nicEditors.findEditor( "update" ).setContent( 'value for textarea' );//set value

or

nicEditors.findEditor( "update" ).setContent( '' );//set empty

The val() method on input gives the value .It wont set the value.

You have to use

$('#update').val(''); //sets empty val in text area

or

$('#update').val('someDataString'); //sets the string what ever you have

Keep in mind, that you could reset a form easily via:

document.forms[0].reset()

So when you do not only want to reset one specific area, but have to clear a complete form, it would be woth considering.

use this, simple and easy

$("div.nicEdit-main").html('');

For updating Nicedit you can write

$("div.nicEdit-main").html('<h1>Test</h1>');
