How do I clear a search box with an 'x' in bootstrap 3?

Question

Having some trouble with bootstrap, so some help would be awesome. Thanks

Do not bind to element id, just use the 'previous' input element to clear.

CSS:

.clear-input > span {
    position: absolute;
    right: 24px;
    top: 10px;
    height: 14px;
    margin: auto;
    font-size: 14px;
    cursor: pointer;
    color: #AAA;
}

Javascript:

function $(document).ready(function() {
    $(".clear-input>span").click(function(){
        // Clear the input field before this clear button
        // and give it focus.

        $(this).prev().val('').focus();
    });
});

HTML Markup, use as much as you like:
