If you want the search field in Flare HTML5 output to clear when escape is pressed, add the following to the toolbar JavaScript.
window.onload = function() {
$("#search-field").keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 27) { $("#search-field").val(""); }
});
}
If there is already a window.onload assignment, just add the inner part to the existing assignment.

Hi Tom,
Great post, thank you. Can you please let me know to access the toolbar JavaScript? I’m still fairly new to Flare.

Steve
