jquery empty not working

Anyone see why this wouldnt work as intended!?

$('.project_ref_input').val().empty();

I've tried with .text() and just with .empty()...no luck!?

.project_ref_input is the class of the input

This is the complete jquery code:

$('.project_ref_input').live('change',function(){ 
                var project_ref_input=$(this).val();
                $(this).next().replaceWith("<p>" + project_ref_input + "</p>");
                $('.project_ref_input').val().empty();
            });

Try by removing .val(), since .val() returns string, we don't have empty function available for string is javascript

Or:

$('.project_ref_input').removeAttr('value');

It doesn't work because val doesn't return a jQuery object, but a string. To set a value, pass it to val as the argument. try:

$('.project_ref_input').val('');
