You can do this way.
# Controller.py
Add id in your input field.
def test():
form = FORM(LABEL("File(s):"), INPUT(_name='pic_upload', _type='file',
_multiple=''),
BR(), LABEL("Comments:"), INPUT(_name='comments'),
BR(), LABEL("Print Size:"), INPUT(_name='print_size'),
BR(), LABEL("copies:"), INPUT(_name='copies'))
form.append(XML('<br><input list="names" name="names" id="test"><datalist
id="names"><option value="Matte"><option value="Glossy"></datalist><br>'))
form.append(XML('<button type="submit">submit</button>'))
return locals()
# view/test.html
Add this script in your view file.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#test").click(function (evt) {
$("#test").val("")
});
});
</script>
Thanks
