Clear text area with button click

How can I clear a text field by clicking on a button?

Ive searched the web and found tons of scripts that will clear text just
entered but I am displaying results from a database into a text area field.
I need to be able to click a button and clear the field completely - not
just the text that was just entered.

BTW - There is only one field on the form so a routine that will clear an
entire form would work.

TIA

<input type="button" value="Clear"
onlick="document.formname.textareaname.value = '';">

<input type="reset" value="Clear The Form" />

<input
