What is the code to disable prefill/pre-pop for a single form field?

I've worked on projects where there was some javascript that went in the Head section that allowed you to specify a single field on a form that would NOT pre-pop. We found it very useful when people were registering for webinars and wanted to change the date of the registration or register for multiple dates. Now that I'm at a new gig, I can't find this code anywhere in the Community. Help?

It's the last code sample on this page: https://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000Kyy3

Best, 
Jep

Replace the yellow text with your exact field name

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/public/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // set no conflict mode for jquery
  var $jQ = jQuery.noConflict();

  $jQ(document).ready(function(){
    $jQ('#Comments').attr('value','');
  });
</script>

Thanks, Jep. That's the code I've been using. The problem is with leads who already have data in this field. For them, the old values for this field are still showing up in the drop down as an option. The value is saved in the lead record, but has been deleted as an option on the form. See below.


Here is the page URL where we're having the problem: http://resources.bazaarvoice.com/Connections.webinar.choice.html.

@ Matt: yeah, that's how pre-filling for dropdowns works. You can modify the JavaScript from my link above to remove the last "option" from the "select" (pre-filling inserts the option at the end). I'm not a JavaScript developer, so can't help you writing the code unfortunately

Any resolution to this? We also have this drop down field issue.
