How can I set my number field as empty?

[lampego]

1. Fill my field as 0. Value was: 0.00
2. Run this code: $(".myFieldClass").val('');

I got 0.00 instead of "string Empty"

My work around is add code below

if (!e) { return ""; }

to the line after
e = (e + "").replace(".", a).replace(new RegExp(l, "g"), "").replace(new RegExp(n, "g"), ".").replace(new RegExp("[^0-9+-Ee.]", "g"), "");

this code will check is value is empty or not return the empty string instead of string that use "0" instead of "".

Maybe $.valHooks.text.set in else condition should format number only if value has number in .val() call.

else {
    if ( ! /[0-9]/.test( val ) ) {
        return el.value = val;
    }
    
    var num = $.number( val, data.decimals, data.dec_point, data.thousands_sep );
    return $.isFunction(origHookSet) ? origHookSet(el, num) : el.value = num;
}

2018 Update:
I made a simple solution to set any value if needed with .forceval() instead of .val()

(function ($) {
    
    $.fn.forceval = function ( value ) {
        var hookset = $.valHooks.text.set;
        if ( hookset ) {
            delete $.valHooks.text.set;
        }
        var result = this.each( function () {
            $( this ).val( value );
        } );
        if ( hookset ) {
            $.valHooks.text.set = hookset;
        }
        return result;
    };
    
}( jQuery ));

1. change input type to number. $('#input').attr('type', 'number');
2. set value to ''. $('#input').val('');
3. change input type to text. $('#input').attr('type', 'text');
