Clear Rails form after submitting

I want to clear text_form after message submitting. This is my form:

<%= form_for :chat, :html => {:id => 'send_form'}, :url => {:controller => :chat, 
       :action => :chat_save }, :remote => true do |f| %>
    <%= f.text_field(:text, :class => "text_field round") %>
    <%= f.submit(:class => 'button round') %>           
<% end %>

I`ve done, like in this topic: Clear Rails remote form after submitting. First I try this in my js file:

$('#send_form').submit(function() {
$('#chat_text').val('');
});

the text_field become clear, but it send a blank line. Then I try this one, it sends message now, but text_field doesn`t become empty:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#send_form").live("ajax:complete", function(evt, data, status, xhr){
        $('#chat_text').val('');
    });
}

May be some libraries missed? Can anyone helps?

if you're ok with waiting for a reply from the server, you can create a .js.erb file that will be executed after the request. inferring from the form action, create a file called chat_save.js.erb in app/views/chat and add

$('#chat_text').val('');
