Double click Trigger event to clear textbox

Question

I would need to add an event handler for a double-click event of a text box. I'm trying to trigger the click event of clear button from the handler for the double-click event. This should

clear text from the textbox that is double-clicked

The code for the clear button works from the following code:

$("#clear_entries").click(function () {
$("input[type=text]").val("");
$("input[type=text]").after("");
$("#email_address1").focus();
});
$("#email_address1").focus();
});

I am trying to use the shortcut for trigger method using $("#clear".click();

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
