I tried:

$('input').keyup(function() {

   $(this).attr('val', '');

});

but it removes the entered text slightly after a letter is entered. Is there anyway to prevent the user from entering text completely without resorting to disabling the text field?

javascript jquery html

One other method that could be used depending on the need $('input').onfocus(function(){this.blur()}); I think this is how you would write it. I am not proficient in jquery.
