What's the best way to assign the value of InputField to a variable
and then clear its contents?
This seems to work:
InputField[Dynamic[y, {
(y = #) &,
(z = y; y = "";) &
}], Number]
Dynamic[z]
But I'm wondering if there's a way to just tell InputField to clear
itself without having to use a dummy variable. Also the fact that I
have to tell InputField to treat the string y as a number seems
strange.
Thanks for the help!
