Is there a default way to clear a date field?

Posted: May 13, 2010

I have been searching and cannot find a solution to clear the date field. I am currently having to have a second link or icon that when clicked clears the date field.

Is there an easier or more space efficient method.

Thanks!

Try this:
$('[name=fieldname]').val('')

Thanks for the reply. However, I was wondering if there was a way built into the interface to clear the date.

I have a field that can either be filled or left empty. If someone wants to clear the date I have to create another element outside of the dateinput plugin interface to handle that case.

If there is no other way I will continue to use the function you posted.

Thanks!

I've added a possibility to clear the date value with the backspace key:

http://github.com/jquerytools/jquerytools/commit/99d14cf53ca6c6288026c8834e2ab07982c0554a

Will be released on v.1.2.2

Thanks!

Cool! Talking about easy :) You're awesome! I hope it will also automatically close the dateinput dialog.
