A cleaner way is to implement a category on UITextField with this method:

- (void)modifyClearButtonWithImage:(UIImage *)image {
    UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [button setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 15.0f, 15.0f)];
    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(clear:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    self.rightView = button;
    self.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
}

-(IBAction)clear:(id)sender{
    self.text = @"";
}
