Clear text box using jquery

I have this HTML element:

<div id="setProfessionalDitailsArea">
<input type="textbox" id="instituteName" placeholder="Instetute Name">
</div>

at some point I try to clear text box:

  $("#setProfessionalDitailsArea input[textbox]" ).val('');

But it dosen't work,while this:

  $("#sinstituteName" ).val('');

Works perfect!

Any idea why is the first option not working?
