I could never get the clear cookies to happen on a No Result page or to happen on any
event other than onclick. What I did to solve this was add text to the .js when
nothing was found. It looks good and coincides with the GSA returning suggestions on
how to return results. I put the following code at end of the function
mTOutputParametric(idName) just before document.getElementById(idName).innerHTML =
mTResult;.
else
{
mTResult = "<h3>" + mTHeader + "</h3> <div style=\"text-align: center;\"><br /><a
href=\"" + clearURL + "\" onClick=\"clearAllCookies();\"><font color=\"red\"
size=\"3\">Reset All Filters</font></a></div>";
mTResult += "<div><br />Suggestions:<ul><li>Try resetting all
filters.</li></ul></div>";
}

issue 3
(Need a clearAllCookies() when no results) commented on by price.jp
- That still didn't seem to fix the problem. It clears the cookies but leaves
partialfields in the URL.
What I ended up doing is adding this function and calling it from the search text
box onsubmit="clearAllCookiesAndPartialFields()"
// Clear all the appropriate cookies and PartialFields from URL
function clearAllCookiesAndPartialFields()
{
var x=document.getElementsByName("partialfields");
if ( x.length > 0)
{
document.getElementsByName("partialfields")[0].value="";
document.getElementsByName("partialfields")[1].value="";
}
clearAllCookies();
}
Not sure if this is the best way to do this but it seems to work.
