doesn't work as expected. the X should appear in the history list not on the input field itself which is completely stupid as is.
Thanks for this great idea. It seems that the clearance of content does not execute field onchange event.
Works well in latest Chrome. Petty issues: - The clear button stays on the last input field the mouse leaves. - The about button doesn't work (it has inline script which isn't supported anymore I think) but who cares. - Scrolling. The clear button seems to be absolutely positioned in the viewport. Consequence of previous the issue I guess.
doesn't work in: google-chrome-stable 39.0.2171.71-1 amd64 (linux)
please add "x" button even on url field. ciao
Just what I needed! Only one issue I've seen is that the button will overlap any button that the text field may be coded to have. For example: The microphone in the Google search bar. Also the issue with the button scrolling with the page that another reviewer mentioned.
does not seem to work in Linux..
